Switch the game your server runs directly from the Game Panel using the Switch Game tool, without opening a support ticket.

Switch Your Server’s Game

Before you begin, back up anything you want to keep. Switching games completely wipes the server.

See our manual backup guide for instructions.

  1. In the Game Panel, open your server and click Switch Game at the bottom of the left sidebar.
  2. Find the game you want to switch to, then click it to begin the process.
  3. On the Migrate server options page, review the available settings. Check any password-related settings first to prevent old passwords from carrying over, then click Continue.
  4. On the Review and switch page, confirm your changes and click Switch game.

If Something Goes Wrong

Issues during the install process are rare, but if one happens, contact our support team. Our response time is typically under an hour, and we can fix install issues quickly through a ticket.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, your IP stays the same. Your port may change if the new game uses a query port, so check that game's help center article after switching.

No. Take a manual backup before switching if you want to keep your current server's files, since switching completely wipes the server.
