GHTV Reloaded (or GHTVR for short) is a community-made patch and private server for Guitar Hero Live. This patch features new, unofficial GHTV private servers, created to preserve the GHTV song library and to continue the GHTV experience after the official servers were shut down. It was officially released on December 1, 2022 with a closed alpha run and a public beta run earlier that year.
Being an unofficial GHTV private server separate from the official GHTV server, all players start off fresh at Level 1 regardless of the progress they had made on the official server. However, players on the GHTV Reloaded Discord server can freely add Hero Cash to their GHTV Reloaded server accounts for Play Tokens and other goodies, and the coin price of Guitar Upgrades, Hero Powers, and Play Tokens were reduced. Also, when creating a GHTV Reloaded account on the Discord server, players can choose if they want to unlock everything from the start or unlock them normally through progression.
