Hypersonic Labs, the innovative studio behind some of GTA Online’s most popular modding tools, has officially unveiled HELIX—a groundbreaking new platform designed as the spiritual successor to FiveM, the leading Grand Theft Auto V roleplay (RP) modification.
What is HELIX?
HELIX is a next-generation multiplayer framework built to empower GTA RP communities with enhanced stability, deeper customization, and improved performance. Designed as a FiveM alternative, HELIX promises:
✔ Better optimization – Reduced server lag and smoother gameplay
✔ Advanced modding tools – More flexibility for server owners and developers
✔ Built-in anti-cheat – Stronger security to combat exploits and hackers
✔ Cross-platform support – Potential compatibility beyond just GTA V
Why It Matters for GTA RP Fans
FiveM has long dominated the GTA roleplay scene, but HELIX aims to push boundaries further with:
Improved server scalability (supporting larger player counts)
Next-level scripting capabilities (enabling more complex RP scenarios)
Seamless mod integration (easier installation for custom assets)
Hypersonic Labs has also hinted at future-proofing HELIX for GTA 6, suggesting the platform could evolve alongside Rockstar’s next title.
Release Date & Early Access
While no official launch date has been confirmed, closed alpha testing is expected in late 2024. Server hosts and modders can already sign up for early access via Hypersonic Labs’ official website.
