Game servers are specialized computers that host multiplayer online games, allowing players to connect and interact in a shared virtual environment. These servers manage game data, player actions, and game rules, ensuring a smooth and synchronized experience for everyone involved. Players can join game servers through the internet, either by connecting to official servers provided by the game developers or by joining private servers created by other players. Popular games like Minecraft and Fortnite rely on game servers to facilitate real-time gameplay, enabling users to collaborate or compete with others around the world.
