How to Change the Launch Playlist on your R5Reloaded Server
R5Reloaded
·Jun 22, 2026
·5 min read
The launch playlist determines which game mode your R5Reloaded server loads when it starts up, whether that's a classic battle royale, a fast-paced deathmatch, or one of the many custom community modes. Switching it lets you tailor your server to exactly the kind of matches you want to run, and it only takes a few moments through the server panel.
#Setting the Launch Playlist
-
Access your Control Panel and navigate to the Config tab. Select the R5Reloaded Server Properties file.
-
Locate the Launch Playlist field and set your desired playlist from the available options.
- Save and restart your server to ensure the new changes apply.
