GTA 5 Roleplay (RP) transforms Grand Theft Auto V into an online life simulator, where players act as real characters—police officers, criminals, medics, and more. Here's how to join a GTA RP server and get started.
🎮 What Is GTA 5 Roleplay?
GTA RP uses custom servers to provide a modded experience. Players follow strict rules, speak in-character, and take on jobs in a persistent online world.
🧩 Step 1: Install GTA 5 (PC Version Only)
You need the original Rockstar or Steam version of GTA V. It must be installed on your PC to use any RP platform.
🚀 Step 2: Download & Install FiveM
- Visit fivem.net
- Download the FiveM installer
- Run the setup and link your GTA V installation
🔍 Step 3: Find a RP Server
Inside FiveM, use the server browser to find public or whitelist RP servers. Popular types include:
- Public RP: Easy to join, casual roleplay
- Whitelist RP: Requires an application or interview
- Serious RP: Focus on deep roleplay, strict rules
📝 Step 4: Apply for Whitelist Servers (If Needed)
Many high-quality RP servers ask for applications. You may need to fill out a form or attend a Discord interview to get accepted.
🎭 Step 5: Create Your Character
Once inside, you'll create a character. Follow server rules, use voice chat properly, and act realistically in every situation.
💡 RP Tips for Beginners
- Always stay in character (no OOC talk)
- Respect server rules and admins
- Use a good mic for voice communication
- Start with civilian jobs to learn the ropes
