FiveM, the highly-successful multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto V, has reached a new milestone of 250,000 concurrent players. It set the record at 21:11 BST on Sunday, April 26th. While the number also accounts for RedM players, its impact here is most likely minimal compared to the behemoth that is FiveM. For comparisons sake, Grand Theft Auto V on Steam had 78,432 concurrent players simultaneous to when FiveM broke its record, according to SteamDB fivem server

The GTAV Steam figure consists of players engaged in both Story Mode and GTA Online, but even still, it doesn’t come close to FiveM’s incredibly impressive player count. Of course, this number also doesn’t include GTAV players on the Rockstar Games Launcher and Epic Games Store – the latter of which offered the game as a free download for one-week last year, which is supported by FiveM. Regardless, I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of those who claimed the game at no cost are using it for FiveM servers instead of Rockstar’s own multiplayer offering.


If you’re intrigued to check out FiveM for yourself, then be sure to download the client from the official Cfx.re website. From there, you’ll need to own a legitimate copy of Grand Theft Auto V on PC, but considering the game gets discounted frequently, it shouldn’t be too costly to acquire one. Alternatively, if you’re a fan of the wild west era, then RedM has you covered – for that one you’ll need either Red Dead Redemption 2 or the standalone Red Dead Online game on PC.

In an earnings call to investors back in May 2019, almost two years ago, the CEO of Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive, Strauss Zelnick was asked about the phenomenal growth of FiveM, especially on Twitch, and if it had impacted GTA Online whatsoever. The response from Zelnick was absolutely clear-cut: “We don't monetize that.” The company immediately moved on to the next caller in the queue. It’s clear that Take-Two didn’t wish to comment on the success of FiveM, at least back then.
