RageMP’s GTA 5 servers are heading for shutdown after Take-Two’s order
The modding platform will stop new server creation immediately, lose its public listing on June 1, 2026, and shut down fully on August 31, 2026.
Take-Two has sent a cease-and-desist to RageMP, and the GTA 5 multiplayer mod platform is heading for a full shutdown on August 31, 2026. That pressure follows Rockstar’s 2023 purchase of Cfx.re and the rollout of the Cfx Marketplace for GTA mods, which made FiveM the only authorized GTA 5 multiplayer modding platform.
A post on the RageMP forums says the shutdown will unfold in stages. The first phase begins immediately, with new community servers blocked and access to the RageMP server toolkit cut off. Server owners are being told to move their projects to FiveM, and the platform says it will help with that migration.
The second phase begins on June 1, 2026, when the public server listing goes offline. Server managers need to log in before that date if they want to keep their servers functional.
The final phase arrives on August 31, 2026. After that date, RageMP will no longer be supported, its game client and server toolkit will be unavailable, and its backend infrastructure will shut down as community servers are forced offline too.
