How To Migrate Your GTA 5 And GTA Online Data To Xbox Series X/S ...

How to Transfer Your GTA Online Character and Data From Xbox One and PS4 to Xbox Series X/S and PS5

The very good news is that it’s pretty easy to migrate your GTA Online data to next-gen consoles. You simply need to sign in to your Rockstar account on your next-gen device and load GTA Online. That should trigger a prompt that will ask you to confirm which GTA Online profile associated with your account that you’d like to migrate. Choose the correct profile, wait for the process to complete, and you should be able to access your GTA Online character.

The bad news is that this process does come with a few catches you definitely need to know about:

• You won’t be able to try GTA Online‘s new “Career Builder” while using an existing GTA Online character. If you want to try that option, you’ll need to create a new character. If you’re already at your character limit, you’ll need to delete a character before starting a Career Builder profile.
• Do not turn your console off druing this (or any other) part of the migration process. Doing so may corrupt your save data.
• While you can start a GTA Online profile from scratch on your next-gen console, it’s highly recommended that you transfer your save data when prompted to do so. That will ensure you’re safely able to access it if you ever need it, and you can always delete data from there.

The whole thing is pretty complicated, so here’s a simple rundown of which cross-platform transfer options will work and which will not:
