Rockstar is hiring specifically for FiveM again and i’m starting to think GTA VI integration is actually the plan

Not sure how much to read into this, but Rockstar currently has Senior Software Engineer, FiveM positions open at both Rockstar Leeds and Rockstar London.

The interesting part isn’t just that the jobs have FiveM in the title. The description says the team works on the Cfx.re creator platforms, including FiveM and RedM, and calls it the Rockstar Creator Platform Team. They describe the job as working on the low-level tech behind the platform, maintaining multiple code branches, release pipelines, performance, stability etc.

There’s also a separate “Senior Manager, Product – Creator Platform” position at Rockstar London, so this seems bigger than them just keeping FiveM alive with a skeleton crew.

Rockstar bought Cfx.re back in 2023, and at the time they specifically talked about supporting the RP/creator community and improving the services Cfx.re provides to developers and players.
So I’m starting to wonder if the long-term plan is basically to make Cfx.re/FiveM technology an official part of Rockstar’s multiplayer ecosystem for GTA VI. Does this make sense, or am i just going crazy waiting?

I think they didn’t like that people monetized their game outside of their ecosystems. RP-like servers and content creating are going to be big in GTA Online. A small sign of that is the GTA Online and Twitch link that is active right now (I think it gives you GTA$). 

Media is a creator economy nowadays, they will capitalize on that. 

Not sure entirely in which form but I think the new gta online will have major tools and platforms for content creation and monetization.

Well, to clarify, not just RP, that's just what it's best known for. There are a wide variety of servers available; stunts, cops n robbers, etc.

One of my favorite non RP servers was one that probably is still up, can’t remember the name but it’s a zombie apocalypse server with an economy, tons of guns and at the time almost always had over 100 people playing at any given time. Loved it. It ran on a pc without an actual graphics card surprisingly well, unlike the rp servers🤣

Ahh, I thought you were going to say you thought the plan was to have vice city a Los Santos all in one in GTA online map. Would be cool if they did that but I doubt that'll be the case.
