FiveM

However, GTA VI Online is coming.

We know that Rockstar acquired FiveM.

We know that UGC is going to be part of this in some way or another, and so I think that this was the head man being the ultra communication professional that he is saying that, "We as Take-Two/Rockstar will not be doing that," but that does noth- have nothing to do with whether our creators and our agencies and our sawhorses, et cetera, will be doing that, right? And so I think what we're gonna see is, and this is complete speculation, and he never, he was never gonna, like, tell me yes or no, um, but I think that we're gonna see much more of this sort of like safe arm's distance of the core property, right? While the tools and, and the tooling and the systems for, for, like, matching brands with creators are going to be fully, full-throatedly supported by Rockstar and that we're gonna have many more Calex IKEA bookshelves running around in this wacky multiverse environment.

And I think that's-

Now, ladies and gentlemen, you already know over here at Notorious Mass Effect, we get into the gaming and music IPs that notoriously affect the masses.

It's safe to say specifically when it comes to FiveM, that is entirely what we're going to be getting into for this specific segment.

[bell dings] [audience cheers] [explosion] As of course, if you don't know, ladies and gentlemen, GTA is set to be the biggest entertainment project released in quite some time.

So when it comes to FiveM and it exploding in popularity, safe to say it is not, uh, it, it is basically not a coincidence that FiveM is increasing in popularity when GTA VI is about to come out, because a quick little side note before we get into FiveM, um, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if, uh, you're on Analytic Dream's video on Spotify, but you definitely should go there right now as, um, what is this stat? This is actually insane.

[bell dings] What in the actual...

Shepard, [explosion] just look at the state of gaming.

Like, what is going on?

So speaking of lost productivity in human society, ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to get into GTARP.

In the late 2010s and early 2020s, modders went particularly crazy with the foundation Rockstar created, and utilized it for role-playing servers such as the extremely popular NoPixel.

Rockstar has embraced this side of the community, acquiring the team behind the FiveM modding platform and collaborating with NoPixel itself.

Now NoPixel is gearing up to release its, the next iteration of its role-playing server, which will be officially supported by Rockstar Games.

The two teamed up to produce a much richer and deeper role-playing experience that will feature a reworked character customization system, enhanced graphics, and a wealth of quality-of-life changes.

This is not necessarily immediately related to VI, but they have, uh, they have launched a NoPixel server called NoPixel V, Roman numeral five, NoPixel V. Um, remember that they acquired...

They, they picked up the teams that built FiveM, which was the big modding thing that, you know, people built to kind of make some of this stuff in the first place.

Um, and so as IGN puts it here, "NoPixel is gearing up to release the next iteration of its role-playing server, which will be officially supported by Rockstar Games." Um, perhaps the most notable thing here, again, according to ign.com, "Perhaps the most notable thing for longtime GTA fans is that the Mile High Club, a building that has been under construction since the game's very first reveal trailer in 2011, has been finished exclusively for NoPixel.

The building is now a hotel and casino for role-players." Sure.

Um, and that'll be available through their official, like, launcher.

You don't have to go download a bunch of mods or do anything for it.

Like, you could just get onto an RP server as part of the default experience, I guess, right? Um, and so, you know, by working with NoPixel and by buying FiveM and, and everything else, like, they...

It looks like they are, uh, putting it all together.

[explosion] And when you look even deeper into the numbers, as far as the economy, GTA V is doing tremendous right now as far as the actual mod.

If you don't know, there's a, a mod for GTA RP that's called FiveM, right? And on Steam it is currently one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

It's currently the eighth most played game on Steam, and of course it doesn't show up as GTA V, but this is the client for the GTA RP.

So right here, analyticdreams' video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio.

But this right here, as far as FiveM, this is the, the tool used for GTA RP.

So it's currently the eighth most played game on Steam, right? And then you come over to PlayStation, because for some reason...

Well, I say for some reason, like I don't know why, but, um, uh, GTA VI pre-orders is not trending at all on Xbox as far as in the top 10.
