On January 12, 2026, Cfx.re rolled out an updated Creator Platform License Agreement for FiveM. The revision brings the agreement in line with recent changes to the Rockstar Games Terms of Service and supports ongoing improvements to the Creator Services platform. If you run a FiveM server or monetize content through the Creator Program, here is everything you need to know.
What Changed in the Agreement
The primary goal of the January 2026 update is simplification and harmonization. Cfx.re streamlined the Creator Platform License Agreement so that its language, definitions, and obligations align more closely with Rockstar Games' own Terms of Service. Rather than maintaining two separate sets of rules that could conflict or cause confusion, the updated agreement defers to Rockstar's ToS wherever possible and removes redundant clauses.
Key areas that were revised include intellectual property provisions, content usage guidelines, and the responsibilities creators accept when distributing paid or free resources through the platform. The update also reflects improvements Cfx.re has been making to its Creator Services infrastructure, ensuring that the legal framework matches the technical capabilities now available to server owners and script developers.
You can read the full updated agreement at fivem.net/terms.
Why It Matters for FiveM Creators
Rockstar Games periodically updates its Terms of Service to address new features, modding policies, and community guidelines. Because FiveM operates within the Rockstar ecosystem, any shift in Rockstar's ToS can directly affect what creators are allowed to do. By aligning the Creator Platform License Agreement with those terms, Cfx.re reduces the risk of creators accidentally violating either set of rules.
The harmonized agreement also makes it easier for new creators to onboard. Instead of cross-referencing two lengthy legal documents, participants can review a single, consistent set of expectations that covers both the FiveM platform and the underlying Rockstar IP they build upon.
For server hosts, this is especially relevant. If you sell in-game items, offer subscription access, or distribute custom scripts, the updated terms clarify your obligations and help you stay compliant without guesswork.
What Creators Need to Do
There are two steps every active FiveM creator should take:
- Accept the new Creator Platform License Agreement. Log in to your Cfx.re account and review the updated terms at fivem.net/terms. You must accept the new agreement to continue full participation in the Creator Program, including access to monetization features and server listings.
- Review Rockstar's Terms of Service. Since the agreement now closely mirrors Rockstar's rules, make sure you understand the latest version of their ToS as well. You can find it at rockstargames.com/legal. Pay particular attention to sections on user-generated content and commercial use.
Creators who do not accept the updated agreement may lose access to Creator Services features, including monetization tools and priority server listings. Review and accept the new terms as soon as possible to avoid any interruption.
If you have questions about specific clauses or how the changes affect your server, Cfx.re recommends reaching out through their official support channels for clarification.
Do I need to change anything about how I run my FiveM server?+
In most cases, no. The updated agreement simplifies existing rules rather than introducing new restrictions. However, you should read the full terms to confirm your current setup complies, especially if you monetize your server or distribute paid resources.
What happens if I don't accept the new Creator Platform License Agreement?+
Creators who do not accept the updated terms will be unable to fully participate in the Creator Program. This can include losing access to monetization features, priority listings, and other Creator Services tools until the agreement is accepted.
