ModNation Racers was a scrappy but outrageously popular kart racer on the PS3.
The game – part of Sony’s big “play, create, share” push at the time – allowed fans to design their own characters, courses, and karts. It was actually originally developed by United Front Games, the Canadian studio behind Sleeping Dogs.
But its servers were taken offline in 2018, rendering the release pretty pointless without many of its key features supported.

Now industrious fans have found a way to get the title working as intended again, utilising private servers. The feedback on Reddit has been impressive, with lobbies fairly full of returning fans.
