GTA V roleplay is a multiplayer mod for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. In GTA RP, players create a character, personality, and backstory, and then take jobs in the world of GTA 5, pretending to be everything from cab drivers to paramedics to fishermen to real estate agents. Players roleplaying directly affects how the players and NPCs in the city operate and behave in the game, which makes it noticeably different from the standard GTA Online. The level of roleplay depends on the server, with some servers being completely hardcore roleplaying, while others are a bit less strict.
To play GTA V roleplay, players need to install a mod such as FiveM or RageMP. Once installed, players can join user-created RP servers and become immersed in the game as they take on the form of a normal NPC, which can be customized in a number of different ways. The experience is intended to be more "realistic" than the standard GTA Online, with players able to get a job, rent an apartment, interact with other players, form relationships, and try out their acting and improvisation skills.
Overall, GTA V roleplay is a way for players to live out their own unique stories in the city of Los Santos and create a communal storytelling experience with other players.
