Over the last couple of years, roleplaying content inside of Grand Theft Auto V has carved out a considerable audience and community online. After seeing much success, the developer behind the mods, Cfx.re, has been acquired by Rockstar Games, meaning that FiveM and RedM are now officially part of Rockstar.
Rockstar made the announcement in a blog post, stating that the company has been excited by what has been accomplished in the roleplaying communities. This new partnership is intended to help the team at Cfx.re better implement these mods and ensure that it can optimize its current services. The GTA developer states that there will be more news in the coming weeks.
The GTA roleplaying mod FiveM was first released in 2015, two years after GTA V, but didn’t start hitting its stride until 2020 when many were stuck inside due to social distancing. Since then, it has been an inspiration for YouTube videos, Twitch streams, and TikTok clips amassing hundreds of thousands of views due to their often chaotic nature.
This news follows a previous development from Rockstar where the company expanded its modding rules to allow the multiplayer mod to thrive. Now, it should be able to improve and expand, potentially even becoming a core part of Rockstar’s games moving forward.
