FiveM is the custom GTA V multiplayer client — now under Rockstar.
FiveM is a free, community-driven client that runs on top of a legitimate copy of Grand Theft Auto V. It connects you to roleplay and custom-game servers instead of GTA Online. Cfx.re, the team behind it, joined Rockstar Games on August 11, 2023. This guide section keeps the official facts, version boundaries and server-side details separate from community rumors.
