How to play at Zenith.
Everything you need to install FiveM, read the rules, connect, and start your first roleplay scene.
What is Zenith Roleplay?
Zenith is a global English serious-roleplay community built on FiveM. We focus on long-form, immersive storytelling — careers, businesses, crews, rivalries, and the quiet moments between. The city has its own economy, its own factions, and its own history. Once you connect, you are a citizen.
What is FiveM?
FiveM is a free modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V that allows players to connect to custom servers like Zenith. You install it over a legitimate copy of GTA V — your single-player game stays untouched.
System Requirements
Anything that runs GTA V comfortably will run Zenith. A modern mid-range PC, 16 GB of RAM, and a stable internet connection are recommended.
