What is FiveM?
A standalone multiplayer for GTA V with its own servers, mods and rules. It's developed by the Cfx.re team, which has belonged to Rockstar Games since 2023. FiveM is mostly about roleplay.

What you need
- A legal PC copy of GTA V from Steam, the Epic Games Store or the Rockstar Games Launcher.
- FiveM from the official fivem.net website and a Cfx.re account (you create it on first launch).
- Discord — most roleplay servers handle their allowlist, support and rules there.
- A microphone — roleplay on FiveM is played by voice.
Step-by-step guide
From installation to your first day in the city
- 1
Launch GTA V normally once
Before installing FiveM, start the game through your launcher and let it finish updating. Then close it.
- 2
Install FiveM
Download FiveM.exe from fivem.net and run it — it installs into its own folder and finds GTA V. If it can't, point it to your game folder manually.
- On first launch FiveM downloads several hundred megabytes; let it finish.
- 3
Sign in with a Cfx.re account
Sign in to FiveM or create a Cfx.re account. Many servers won't let you in without one.
- 4
Find a server and connect
Click Connect next to a server on this page — the official cfx.re page opens with a button into the game. Or press F8 in FiveM and type connect cfx.re/join/code (copy the link with the Copy link button).
- 5
Allowlist and Discord
WL-ON servers only let you in after approval. Join their Discord, read the rules and fill in an application — often followed by a short interview. WL-OFF servers are open right away.
- Keep Discord and Steam running while you play — some servers check them when you connect.
- 6
Set up your microphone
Choose your microphone in the game settings and try push-to-talk. On roleplay servers there's little typing; everything is done by voice.
When it doesn't work
The most common problems and fixes
| What happens | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| FiveM crashes on launch or while loading | A damaged FiveM cache after an update. | Close FiveM and in the FiveM Application Data folder delete the cache folder (leave the game subfolder alone). Then start it again. |
| You're not on the allowlist / not whitelisted | The server only lets approved players in. | Apply on the server's Discord, or pick a WL-OFF server. |
| The server requires Discord or Steam | The server checks your identity through a running Discord or Steam. | Start Discord and Steam before FiveM and connect again. |
| You're stuck in a queue | The server is full and lets players in one by one. | Wait — big servers often have queues in the evening. The ranking in our list shows where it's quieter. |
| The connection fails or times out | The server is restarting or offline. | Try again in a few minutes; servers usually restart at fixed times listed on their Discord. |
Staying safe
- Only download FiveM from fivem.net. “Mod menus”, “spoofers” and “bypasses” are the most common source of malware and get you permanently banned on servers.
- Never lend your Cfx.re, Steam or Discord account or give out your passwords — not even to people pretending to be admins.
- Pay for priority queue or in-game items only through the server's official store, not through private messages.
Frequently asked questions
Which English-language FiveM servers do you list?
The 100 busiest servers set to English plus the 20 busiest from every English-speaking country, taken from the official list of more than 35,000 servers and refreshed every hour. Empty servers are left out — the worldwide list is simply too big.
How do you know which country a server is from?
From the language the server set for itself (en-US, en-GB, en-AU…). A server that set no language or a different one won't be listed, even if English speakers play on it. Your own country is preselected from your browser's time zone — nothing is sent anywhere — and you can switch it with one click.
What do WL-ON and WL-OFF mean?
Allowlist (whitelist). WL-ON means you only get in after approval — usually an application on Discord and an interview. WL-OFF is open to anyone.
Do you store player names?
No. We only store the number of players on a server, once an hour, for the chart and the ranking. We don't track who plays on a server.
