FiveM is a planned multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto V which, much in the lines of popular modifications in the past, offers an advanced multiplayer environment for people to play on dedicated servers with user-made game modes. It builds on the solid multiplayer framework set by the Rockstar Studios themselves as part of the RAGE engine, which has gone through rigorous testing since its first release in 2008, adding high-level customizability features.

Initial releases will have a player cap equal to the GTA: Online cap - 32 players; as more optimizations are made to the modified game engine these limits will be expanded eventually. One also does not have to worry about feeling alone, as outside of your 30+ opponents, partners or co-conspirators, the world will also be filled with the AI vehicles, pedestrians and perhaps even animals you know and love from classical GTA!

FiveM also builds on years of experience maintaining a popular 'game enhancement' project for a popular first-person shooter game series, namely the infamous 'alterIWnet' and 'fourDeltaOne' projects. People familiar with these modifications will also know of a varied set of anti-cheating measures which will most likely get rid of a higher percentage of cheaters than Rockstar will in the game itself on PC. :-)
