GTA Online on current-gen

  • Hao's Special Works: an LS Car Meet workshop with high-performance upgrades, its own races and weekly time trials, exclusive to these versions.
  • Standalone GTA Online for the first time, free on PS5 for its first three months.
  • Career Builder: new players (or anyone restarting their character) pick a business, vehicles and weapons with GTA$4,000,000.
  • A new tutorial and main menu that drops you straight into Freemode, Heists, Races or Adversary Modes.

Moving your progress

  • Story Mode: from that day you could upload a PS4 or Xbox One save to the Social Club from the Game tab of the Pause Menu. One save per platform, kept for 90 days.
  • GTA Online: a one-time character migration when you first launch the new version, covering characters, GTA$, progression, vehicles, properties, weapons, clothing and created Jobs. Purchased GTA$ only transfers within the same family (PS4 to PS5, Xbox One to Xbox Series); earned GTA$ always transfers.
