What FiveM is

A modification (by Cfx.re, now part of Rockstar) that runs GTA V and GTA V Enhanced in dedicated community servers — roleplay cities, racing, custom game modes — instead of GTA Online. It needs a legitimate GTA V install.

Getting started

  1. Own GTA V (Legacy or Enhanced) on Steam, Epic or Rockstar.
  2. Download the client only from fivem.net — fake installers are a real malware vector.
  3. Browse the server list; filter by language and population.
  4. Whitelist RP servers (the big ones) require an application on their Discord first.

FAQ

Is FiveM legal / allowed?

Yes — Rockstar acquired Cfx.re; FiveM is tolerated as long as you own GTA V and servers do not monetize IP unfairly.

Does FiveM work on console?

No — PC only.

Will I get banned from GTA Online?

Not if you use the official client; it runs separate from GTA Online files.
