Host a Garry's Mod server for your friends

Garry's Mod is on our roadmap, not in the launch catalog yet. Votes from the waitlist decide how fast it ships.

The original sandbox server culture: gamemodes, addons, and two decades of community servers. The server is light and the recipe is straightforward, so votes move it up fast.

How hosting Garry's Mod works

  1. 01

    Install Multiplayer Rally

    One Windows app. It installs and manages the Garry's Mod dedicated server for you. No command line, no config files.

  2. 02

    Pick Garry's Mod

    We set the ports, the settings, and the restart schedule. You pick the world name and who's allowed in.

  3. 03

    Share your link

    You get one address your friends paste into the game, and they're in. Nothing to install on their side, no port forwarding on yours.

Garry's Mod hosting questions

Yes. Each player needs their own copy of Garry's Mod to join your server. We host the server side; the game itself comes from the store like always.

Garry's Mod is on the roadmap behind the launch catalog. Joining the waitlist and naming it is a vote: demand decides the order we ship recipes.
