POGS - Player-Owned Game Servers

Empower your multiplayer with Player-Owned Game Servers

Player-Owned Game Servers are servers hosted and owned by players using official game files. This website is a resource hub for game studios, covering the benefits, implementation, and how POGS improve game longevity and long-term health through UGC, modding, and stronger player communities.

What are POGS?

Player-Owned Game Servers give you complete control over your gaming experience. Whether you're hosting Minecraft, Rust, or any multiplayer game, running your own server means custom rules, mods, and a community that plays by your vision. No corporate restrictions, no arbitrary bans—just pure gaming freedom.
