What Happened
Take-Two Interactive has requested the shutdown of the GTA 5 modding platform RAGE:MP. RAGE:MP will begin a structured shutdown process on June 1, 2026, asking all server owners to wind down operations and migrate to FiveM. All remaining community servers are expected to cease operations by August 31, 2026, after which RAGE:MP's game, server toolkit, and backend infrastructure will no longer be available.
Why this Matters to You
If you play on or manage a GTA 5 community server using RAGE:MP, you will need to plan a migration to a new platform. Your server's operations may be disrupted as you transition to Rockstar Games' official FiveM platform, which could involve learning new tools or adapting your server's features. This move appears to consolidate the modding community onto a single, Rockstar-approved platform, which may lead to more standardized tools and potentially greater long-term stability for modded online play.
What's Next
The shutdown process is scheduled to begin on June 1, 2026, giving server owners over two years to plan their migration. The final deadline for all community servers to cease operations on RAGE:MP is August 31, 2026. After that date, the platform's infrastructure will be unavailable. The community's next steps will involve migrating to FiveM, where Rockstar Games has been rolling out Rockstar-approved mod tools.
