Migration of GTA Online Profiles

Thread for Profile Migration Information

Any Characters, GTA$, Progression, Stats, Vehicles, Properties, Weapons, Clothing, and Player-Created Jobs may be smoothly transferred from PS4 or Xbox One to PS5 or Xbox Series X|S with a Rockstar Games Social Club account.

Returning players who migrate their profiles will also receive the all-new Karin S95 — converted and tuned up courtesy of Special Works of Hao —along with the exclusive Cool Noise HSW Racing Suit, Dark Purple Pearl Chameleon Paint, and Red Prismatic Pearl Chameleon Paint.

Simply open up the game on one of these new consoles, and you’ll be offered the opportunity to transfer your GTA Online profile the first time you log in. You may also utilize the Migrate Profile option in the Online part of the Pause Menu to move your character.

Please note that migrating your GTA Online Profile will remove it from the PS4 or Xbox One account it was originally linked to, requiring you to establish a new one in order to continue playing on the original platform.

You may also save your progress in Story Mode and submit it to the Rockstar Games Social Club. Visit Rockstar Support for more information.
