They used to have them for some OG xbox games and PS2 games.

I mean hosting a game via a server binary you’re hosting, not your game console acting as a dedicated server. I believe Mecassault for Xbox had lobbies you would manually join because it was pre-matchmaking and some players would mic check you too.

What do you think the game console is doing when you are running a dedicated server on it? 🤨

Well only in 8th gen there was dedicated servers, before that I know it was all peer to peer.
