alt:V has shut down. After a cease-and-desist from Take-Two, the platform stopped new servers on 2 March 2026, closed its public server list on 4 May 2026 and stopped working completely on 6 July 2026. FREAKHOSTING no longer offers alt:V servers. To keep running a GTA V multiplayer community, move to FiveM, the platform Rockstar Games supports.

​
What happened to alt:V?

The alt:V team announced a staged shutdown after Take-Two asked them to stop:

​
What does this mean for FREAKHOSTING customers?

  • We no longer sell alt:V servers.
  • alt:V servers can’t be installed, updated or listed any more, because the platform’s downloads and backend are gone.
  • If you still have an alt:V server with us, open a ticket and our team will help you move to a FiveM server.

​
How to move your community to FiveM

FiveM is the multiplayer platform for GTA V that Rockstar Games supports. Most of what alt:V servers did (roleplay, custom scripts, maps and vehicles) works on FiveM with its own resources.
1

Get a FiveM server

Order a FiveM server, or open a ticket to ask about moving your existing service.
2

Set up the licence key

Every FiveM server needs a free Cfx.re licence key. See how to set up a FiveM licence key.
3

Start with a framework

Follow getting started with your FiveM server and pick a framework or txAdmin recipe for your game mode.
4

Rebuild your scripts

alt:V resources don’t run on FiveM as they are. Rewrite them as FiveM resources (Lua, JavaScript or C#), or use FiveM resources that already do the same job.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Can I still run an alt:V server?

No. alt:V stopped working on 6 July 2026 and its server downloads are no longer available.

​
Can I use my alt:V resources on FiveM?

Not directly. FiveM has its own resource format, so alt:V resources need to be rewritten or replaced with FiveM resources.

​
Do you offer another GTA V multiplayer platform?

Yes, FiveM. See the FiveM server guide.
