Rockstar Games announced their acquisition with Cfx.re, the creators of GTA 5 RP mod clients FiveM and RedM, on Twitter. The gaming studio acknowledged the popularity of Grand Theft Auto 5's RP servers in its Roleplay Community Update post and mentioned that it expanded its mods policy to support the community's efforts.

Rockstar also stated that they will be sharing more information in the coming weeks and months. The news took fans by surprise as nobody expected them to collaborate with modders as Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar's parent company) has hit Grand Theft Auto modders with DMCA notices in the past.
