'''Deathmatch''' is a [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]] game mode in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] consisting of two to sixteen players. The standard free-for-all in many online shooting games, players' only goal is to kill as many ''other'' players as possible. Players can also pick up money from deceased players. The player with the most money at the end of the match wins. There must be at least 2 players in the match, and no more than 16. You can play a similar [[Deathmatch]] in both GTA IV's [[Free Mode]] and [[Party Mode]]. While no specific score is capped, Free Roam unlocks the whole city, lots of vehicles and guns at your pleasure, just to shoot the living daylights out of other players. Party mode follows a similar principal. From both Free Roam and Party Mode, Deathmatch can be found.
