Rockstar Games<\/a> hasn’t said much of anything about GTA 6<\/a>‘s potential multiplayer offerings, but the developer is making strides for GTA Online<\/a>‘s roleplaying community. A watch-only nopixel 5 closed beta is coming next week.<\/p>\n

More than three years ago, Rockstar bought out the modding team and the tech powering FiveM, a GTA Online RP platform the studio had once tried to bury. Today, the studio revealed the fruits of that partnership: Rockstar’s official roleplaying server, nopixel 5.<\/p>\n

“Rockstar is finally throwing its weight behind nopixel, a group that has long redefined roleplay via deep immersion and custom map tweaks,” Rockstar wrote in its announcement blog<\/a>. “Starting 8 September, nopixel 5 closed beta kicks off, allowing a handful of invited players to jump in using the studio’s own launcher.”<\/p>\n

Sadly, it sounds like the nopixel 5 closed beta will only be available to select content creators and well-known GTA Online roleplayers, though you can watch along via livestreams next week. Rockstar’s promising “familiar faces reprising fan-favorite characters and new personalities beginning their own stories.”<\/p>\n

“GTA Roleplay has essentially morphed Grand Theft Auto 5<\/a> into a community-driven, multiplayer rendition of Los Santos where participants inhabit bespoke characters to weave personal narratives in a living, shared ecosystem,” the studio explained. “Whether players are law-abiding civilians earning a paycheck or outlaws hunting a payday\u2014policed by an actual player-managed force\u2014the city is shaped by every interaction and individual bond.”<\/p>\n

This latest iteration of nopixel apparently overhauls the server’s character creator, adds in new landmarks to toy around in, and offers “refreshed visuals” and “more reactive pedestrians.” Nopixel 5 will also be available via Rockstar’s own launcher, so you won’t need to mess around with outside tools when nopixel 5 eventually opens its curtains up to everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rockstar Games hasn’t said much of anything about GTA 6‘s potential multiplayer offerings, but the developer is making…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":757215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-757214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=757214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/757215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=757214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=757214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=757214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
