Introduction In the sprawling ecosystem of modern PC gaming, few file extensions inspire as much curiosity and frustration as .rpf . For players who have ever dived into the modding scene for Grand Theft Auto V or Red Dead Redemption 2 , the acronym "RPF" (Rockstar Package File) is a familiar fortress.
