How to migrate GTA Online to PS5, Xbox Series X|S or GTAV Enhanced

Choose Online in the newer version and follow the Migrate Profile screen. You can move from PS4 or Xbox One to PS5 or Xbox Series X|S once, and on PC from GTAV Legacy to GTAV Enhanced. You can’t move between PC and a console. Earned GTA$ always moves; purchased GTA$ only moves within the same console family.

Migrating to PS5 or Xbox Series X|S

  1. On your PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, sign in to Rockstar Games and choose Online from the Landing Page.
  2. On the Migrate Profile screen, choose the platform account you are moving from, then confirm.
  3. Wait for the alert that the migration is complete.
  4. On Review Character, continue with your existing character. Starting a new one overwrites that character slot.

Skipped it the first time? Open the Pause Menu, select Online, then Migrate Profile. If you move from PlayStation to Xbox, or Xbox to PlayStation, any unspent purchased GTA$ stays behind.

Where to start
From the Landing Page when you first choose Online, or later from the Pause Menu: Online, then Migrate Profile.

Rockstar lists the reasons a profile can’t be migrated. If none of them applies to you, contact Rockstar Support.
