====Private Game Servers====
These shouldn't be confused with [[#LAN_Tunneling_Programs|LAN tunneling or offline multiplayer gaming over a LAN]] (local area network) support (e.g. System Link for XBOX home console systems or third party tools and services such as XLink Kai etc). [[Wikipedia:Peer-to-peer|P2P infrastructure]] based games are included for informational purposes regarding their availability, even if the primary focus might be on the private servers. While some games listed below use [[Wikipedia:Peer-to-peer|peer-to-peer]] (P2P) infrastructure, they might have private servers for authentication phase and just because a game has a dedicated private server for online feature support doesn't mean it has matchmaking capable. There are various online features for games such as: Leaderboards, [https://x.com/Insignia_Live/status/1551570707754078208 Live Aware] (Xbox Live), User Generated Content, Clans etc.
;Remember, for games lacking official or private revival servers, LAN multiplayer can still be an option if the game supports it. You can use [[#LAN_Tunneling_Programs|LAN tunneling]] software to play with your friends over the internet. If none of these available consider local co-op option if the game supports it with [[Netplay#Streaming_programs|streaming software]] for playing with your friends over the internet.
