Deus Ex was designed as a single-player game, and the initial releases of the Windows and Macintosh versions of the game did not include multiplayer functionality.[10] Support for multiplayer modes was later incorporated through patches.[11] The component consists of three game modes: deathmatch, basic team deathmatch, and advanced team deathmatch. Five maps, based on levels from the single-player portion of the game, were included with the original multiplayer patch, but many user-created maps exist, while also many features of the single-player game missing in multiplayer have been re-introduced by various user RPG modifications.[11] The PlayStation 2 release of Deus Ex does not offer a multiplayer mode.[12] In April 2014 it was announced that GameSpy would cease their masterserver services, also affecting Deus Ex.[13] A community-made patch for the multiplayer mode has been created as a response to this.[14]
