Grand Theft Auto V is out now on both Xbox Series X|S and PS5, and you don't have to lose your old save data when you make the jump to a new platform. In fact, there's a dedicated system set up to make the process almost seamless, letting you continue playing right where you left off but with the added benefits of the new consoles.
The Rockstar Games Social Club has a new-gen save migration portal, and you can even move your data for GTA V and GTA Online from one console family to another. Here's how to do it.
How to transfer GTA V story mode data
You can transfer your save data directly from the console you're currently playing GTA V on. To do so, enter the pause menu in the story mode and open the Game tab, then choose "Upload Game Save." This process will work on both Xbox One and PS4. That's it!
The best part is that because of this Rockstar-hosted tool, the save data migration can be made from PS4 to Xbox Series X|S or from Xbox One to PS5 if you planned on switching sides. Of course, PS4 to PS5 and Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S is also supported. You have 90 days to download the save data once it has been uploaded, and can only have one save per platform.
How to transfer GTA Online data
For your GTA Online character, the process will be even more automatic. As long as you have a Rockstar Games Social Club account, you will be able to migrate the character to PS5 or Xbox Series X|S when the game launches March 15. Transferrable content includes progression, vehicles, properties, clothing, weapons, stats, and more. However, any GTA$ you purchased with real money will not make the jump if you are going from one console family to another.
Grand Theft Auto V came to Xbox Series X|S and PS5 on March 15, and features a number of visual and performance enhancements. Both Xbox Series X and PS5 feature a hybrid mode called Performance RT, running the game at an upscaled 4K resolution with 60fps gameplay and ray tracing enabled.

Now that Grand Theft Auto 5 is available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, players will no doubt want to migrate their progress from the previous generation of consoles. Unfortunately, the process isn’t as straightforward as you’d expect, but we’ve got all the steps you’ll need to transfer your old save data to your new system. Here’s what you need to know about migrating your GTA 5 save to the new version on next-gen consoles.
How to upload your GTA 5 save from older consoles
To move your story mode and/or GTA Online progress from your old console to PS5 or Xbox Series X, the first thing you need to do is upload the save to the Rockstar servers. This means you need to have access to the older version if you haven’t uploaded the data yet.
From PS4 or Xbox One, jump into GTA 5, and from the pause menu, you’ll want to head to the “Game” tab. From here, navigate to “Upload Save Game,” and select the save file you’d like to migrate to the new system. After you’ve selected the save file, wait a few seconds, and you’ll receive confirmation that it has been uploaded successfully.
From here, you’re free to close down the older version of the game.
How to retrieve your GTA 5 save on next-gen consoles
After you’ve uploaded the save to the Rockstar servers, launch the next-gen version of GTA 5. You’ll then come to a menu where you can either launch into Story Mode or GTA Online. Below is a step-by-step guide for retrieving your saves across each.
Story Mode
Launch the next-gen edition, boot up the single-player mode, and you’ll be asked to utilize the save you uploaded. Rockstar GamesSelect the Story Mode tab and you’ll be asked to download your saved data. Keep in mind, you need to have the Story Mode version of GTA 5 on your new console to utilize the transfer function. After you’ve purchased it, you’ll have the option to skip the transfer and start fresh, but if you want to pick up where you left off, select the save you just uploaded, which will appear on the left side of the screen. Wait a few seconds, and the game will launch into Story Mode from your previous save.
GTA Online
Migrate your GTA Online save from the previous generation version to pick up where you left off. Rockstar GamesThe process of retrieving your GTA Online character is similar. Select the GTA Online tab, and watch the cutscene that plays. From here, you’ll be presented with your GTA Online character file, which should appear on the left side of the screen. Make sure you pick the “Migrate” option and it should pull the save from the server. One thing to note is that it might give you an error message at first. This happened during our testing, but after we logged into the Rockstar account on a browser, we tried to migrate the file again on PS5 and it worked.
Do GTA 5 trophies and achievements transfer?
Thankfully, trophies and achievements do carry over, as well. Any trophies/achievements you’ve earned on the PS4 or Xbox One will automatically pop once you’ve migrated your save over on you next-gen platform of choice.
We advise getting all the trophies/achievements on the previous generation version first, because otherwise, you’ll have to start from scratch if you planned on earning 100% on those editions, since the save file gets deleted. If you have a platinum trophy on the PS4 version, you can perform the migration to earn a platinum on PS5 with little effort.
