Today, we are proud to announce that Cfx.re — the team behind the biggest Rockstar roleplay and creator communities, FiveM and RedM — are now officially a part of Rockstar Games.

Over the past few years, we’ve watched with excitement as Rockstar’s creative community have found new ways to expand the possibilities of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2, particularly through the creation of dedicated roleplay servers. As a way to further support those efforts, we recently expanded our policy on mods to officially include those made by the roleplay creative community.

By partnering with the Cfx.re team, we will help them find new ways to support this incredible community and improve the services they provide to their developers and players.

We look forward to sharing more in the weeks and months ahead.

These custom servers became popular due to how customizable and personalized these servers can be. At one point, FiveM was more popular than GTA V on Steam. The servers became popular with Twitch streamers like xQc, who further increased FiveM’s popularity through his millions of viewers.

This move could be big for GTA 6. Dedicated roleplay servers with official Rockstar Games support could mean endless possibilities for GTA 6’s online multiplayer, these custom services could have much greater integration with Rockstar Games tools and services post-acquisition. We expect GTA 6 to release sometime in 2024 or 2025.
