About GTA San Andreas Multiplayer (SA-MP)
What is SA-MP?
San Andreas Multiplayer (SA-MP) is a free multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that enables hundreds of players to play together on custom dedicated servers. Originally released in 2006, SA-MP was one of the very first major GTA multiplayer mods and single-handedly pioneered the GTA roleplay genre that would later expand to GTA V platforms like FiveM and RageMP. The mod transforms the single-player experience of San Andreas into a fully-featured online world where players can interact, compete, and create together across the sprawling map of San Andreas.
San Andreas Multiplayer Mod
SA-MP works by connecting a lightweight client to dedicated game servers, each running their own custom game modes built with the Pawn scripting language. Server owners have extraordinary control over the gameplay experience, from creating entire roleplay economies with jobs, businesses, and law enforcement to building competitive deathmatch arenas or stunt parks. The mod supports up to 1000 players per server, custom objects, vehicle models, texture replacements, and map modifications that let server communities build entirely unique worlds within the San Andreas framework. The SA-MP community has produced thousands of scripts, filterscripts, and plugins freely available for server owners.
Roleplay and Freeroam
The two most popular SA-MP server types are roleplay (RP) and freeroam. Roleplay servers immerse players in character-driven experiences where they take on jobs, join factions, run businesses, and interact with law enforcement and criminal organizations, all governed by detailed server rules. SA-MP RP servers pioneered gameplay mechanics that would later become standard in GTA V roleplay communities. Freeroam servers offer a more casual experience with open-world freedom, minigames, stunting, vehicle spawning, and player-vs-player combat. Other popular game modes include cops and robbers, race servers, gang wars, and survival modes, each powered by custom Pawn scripts.
Why Host Your Own SA-MP Server?
Running your own SA-MP dedicated server gives you complete control over the multiplayer experience for your community. Configure custom game modes using Pawn scripting, set player limits up to 1000, manage admin permissions, install plugins and filterscripts, and keep the server running 24/7 so your community can play anytime. With XGamingServer's AMD Ryzen 9 7950X hardware, your SA-MP server benefits from high single-thread performance, which directly translates to smoother gameplay, faster script execution, and stable performance even with hundreds of players connected simultaneously across the San Andreas map.

Learn More About SA-MP Server Hosting
What is SA-MP?
SA-MP (San Andreas Multiplayer) is a free modification for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that adds multiplayer functionality to the classic Rockstar game. First released in 2006, SA-MP allows players to connect to custom servers and play together in the open world of San Andreas. Unlike GTA Online which came years later, SA-MP gave players and server owners unprecedented freedom to create entirely custom gameplay experiences using the Pawn scripting language. The mod remains actively played worldwide with hundreds of servers running at any given time, particularly popular in Eastern Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia.
San Andreas Multiplayer Mod
The SA-MP mod works by replacing the single-player experience with a client-server architecture where dedicated servers run custom game modes. Server owners write scripts in the Pawn programming language using the SA-MP API, which provides hooks into virtually every aspect of the game. This includes player movement, vehicle spawning, object creation, dialog systems, textdraw interfaces, and much more. The SA-MP community has built an enormous ecosystem of open-source scripts, plugins, and tools that make it possible to create everything from simple deathmatch arenas to full-scale city roleplay simulations with working economies, government systems, and faction warfare.
Roleplay and Freeroam
SA-MP's most enduring legacy is the roleplay (RP) genre it popularized. Roleplay servers create immersive character-driven experiences where players must stay in character, take on jobs, join organizations, and interact with the game world as if it were real. Popular RP frameworks include Los Santos Roleplay (LSRP), San Andreas Roleplay (SARP), and countless community-created game modes. Freeroam servers offer the opposite experience, giving players immediate access to vehicles, weapons, minigames, and open-world exploration without any roleplay restrictions. Other popular SA-MP game modes include cops and robbers, race servers, gang wars, zombie survival, and creative stunt servers where players build and share elaborate ramp courses.
Why Host Your Own SA-MP Server?
Hosting your own SA-MP server gives you complete creative control over your multiplayer community. You decide the game mode, the rules, the scripts, and who gets to play. Whether you want to build a serious roleplay community with detailed rules and applications, or a casual freeroam server where friends can mess around in San Andreas together, a dedicated server makes it possible. With XGamingServer hosting, your SA-MP server runs on AMD Ryzen 9 7950X hardware with DDR5 RAM and NVMe storage, providing the raw performance needed for smooth gameplay even with hundreds of concurrent players executing complex Pawn scripts.
