July 21 is shaping up to be a major day for the Grand Theft Auto community as FiveM officially launches Early Access support for GTA 5 Enhanced.
The update introduces significant improvements aimed at boosting multiplayer performance, server stability, and the overall experience for players, creators, and roleplay communities.
One of the biggest upgrades is enhanced networking, increasing synchronization rates from 30 to 120 updates per second. This delivers smoother gameplay, lower latency, and more responsive multiplayer interactions. Improved entity management will also help large servers handle more players and in-game objects with greater efficiency.
Server owners and developers will benefit from the new Cfx Server system, which reduces memory usage by up to 50% in certain scenarios while offering expanded scripting capabilities, improved monitoring tools, and better performance profiling.
The platform is also preparing for even larger multiplayer experiences, with future testing planned to expand beyond the current 2,048-player server limit.
Players can also expect quality-of-life improvements, including easier installation, smarter cache management, automatic cleanup of outdated server files, and enhanced overall stability.
While Rockstar Games continues focusing on Grand Theft Auto 6 for consoles, FiveM's ongoing development ensures the GTA 5 modding community remains active and well-supported as players await the next generation of GTA Online.
