Overview
- Rage:MP announced on Tuesday that it received a cease-and-desist from Take-Two and will begin a structured shutdown that blocks new servers immediately.
- The platform will remove its public server listing on June 1, 2026, and end all client, toolkit, and backend support on August 31, 2026.
- Rage:MP administrators say they will help server owners migrate to FiveM but warn many bespoke roleplay servers and custom content may not move and could be lost.
- FiveM, which Take-Two and Rockstar acquired in 2023, is now defined in the company’s Platform License Agreement as the sole authorized toolkit for GTA V multiplayer modding.
- Industry coverage frames the shutdown as part of a wider effort to consolidate modding under Take-Two ahead of GTA 6, a change that could shift control and commercial paths for community creators.
