What Cfx.re does

Cfx.re is a privately-held game tooling company that develops the FiveM and RedM experience platforms, which enable custom multiplayer roleplay and modded servers for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. The platforms are built on the company's proprietary Citizen Framework, which provides the networking, scripting, and resource-loading layer that allows server owners to deploy custom content such as props, vehicles, characters, and maps. Cfx.re serves three primary user groups: server owners who operate and customize roleplay servers, mod developers and studios who create and sell content, and roleplay gamers who participate in the resulting experiences. Distribution is self-serve and global via direct download of the FiveM and RedM clients, with community engagement concentrated on the official forums (forum.cfx.re) and Discord channels.

The company's business model centers on the recently launched Cfx Marketplace (2026-01-12), an official curated store where content creators publish and monetize mods and Cfx.re earns commission on each transaction. Prior to the marketplace launch, the platforms were distributed without a direct monetization layer. The company was acquired by Rockstar Games in September 2025, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive's Rockstar Games label. Post-acquisition, Cfx.re has been integrated into Rockstar's broader strategy, including a partnership with NoPixel to develop 'nopixel V', a standalone roleplay application for GTA Online, and onboarding launch partners such as Razed Mods and London Studios to seed the marketplace. The combination of proprietary framework, official publisher backing, a two-sided marketplace, and a large active community forms the basis of Cfx.re's competitive position.
