GTA Online

What is GTA Online?

GTA Online is the open-world multiplayer mode of Grand Theft Auto V, where you build a criminal career, earn money, and take on missions with other players.

Your first steps

After the tutorial heist, explore Los Santos freely, take on simple jobs, and save up for your first apartment or vehicle before jumping into bigger content.

Money, RP and levels

GTA$ is the in-game currency used to buy property, vehicles and upgrades; RP (Reputation Points) tracks your level and unlocks new content as you play.

Missions and activities

GTA Online offers story missions, heists, races, business operations and freeroam activities — pick whatever matches your playstyle.

Playing with friends

Join a session with friends through the game's social menu, form a crew, and tackle missions or heists together for better rewards.

Common beginner mistakes

Spending all your early cash on cosmetics, skipping the tutorial missions, and jumping into high-level content unprepared are common early mistakes.

FiveM / Roleplay

What is FiveM?

FiveM is a community-built modification platform that lets Grand Theft Auto V run custom multiplayer servers with their own rules, maps and gameplay systems, separate from GTA Online.

What is Roleplay?

Roleplay (RP) is a style of play where you take on a persistent character and act out realistic scenarios — a job, a personality, a story — instead of playing purely for objectives.

Finding a server

Roleplay servers vary widely in rules, theme and population; browse server directories or community Discords to find one that matches the experience you want.

Creating a character

Most RP servers ask you to create a backstory and identity for your character before you start playing — keep it believable and consistent with server rules.

Basic RP behavior

Stay in character, react realistically to situations, and respect other players' immersion — breaking character casually is generally discouraged.

Common RP terminology

RP communities use their own vocabulary — see the glossary below — to describe good and bad roleplay behavior.

Official information

Treat announcements from Rockstar Games' official channels — their Newswire and verified social accounts — as the only confirmed source.

Latest news

Check the Trending Now section on the Home page for recent developments, curated and scored editorially.

Videos

Check the Watch section on the Home page for official and creator videos about the game.

Confirmed information

Only details published directly by Rockstar should be treated as confirmed; everything else is speculation until Rockstar states otherwise.

Rumors, clearly separated from facts

Leaks, datamines and "insider" claims circulate constantly — treat them as rumors, not facts, unless corroborated by Rockstar itself.

GLOSSARY

RP Glossary

RP
Roleplay: playing as a persistent character with realistic reactions instead of playing purely to win.
RDM
Random Death Match: killing another player without any roleplay reason or in-character justification.
VDM
Vehicle Death Match: using a vehicle to kill or harm another player without roleplay justification.
Metagaming
Using out-of-character information (like a Discord call or stream) inside roleplay, that your character couldn't actually know.
Powergaming
Forcing an action on another player's character without giving them a realistic chance to react or resist.

These are common definitions across roleplay communities, but exact rules and enforcement vary by server — always check your server's own rulebook.
