Take‑Two forces shutdown of Grand Theft Auto multiplayer modding platform Rage:MP

The news that Take‑Two is forcing the closure of the Rage:MP multiplayer platform for Grand Theft Auto 5 has sent shockwaves through the community. Rockstar Games and Take‑Two Interactive have clarified that FiveM remains the only authorized service, so Rage:MP will begin a structured shutdown as requested.

Key changes to expect

  • Public access to Rage:MP’s server toolkit is now closed.
  • No new community servers will be accepted on Rage:MP.
  • All backend infrastructure will be shut down by August 31, 2025.

The shutdown timeline follows a strict schedule: the public listing ends June 1, and the full rollout concludes August 31. During this period owners are urged to migrate their servers to FiveM for continued support.

We know this is tough news for everyone—both developers and players. As FiveM becomes Rockstar’s official platform, we’ve given you extra time to make the switch as smooth as possible. Thank you for building Rage:MP with us; the community defined it more than any codebase ever could.

  • Take‑Two demands a clean exit from Rage:MP.
  • FiveM is now the sole legal multiplayer experience.
  • The final shutdown date is August 31, 2025.
