GTA Online Character Transfer To PS4 & Xbox One

With this Next Gen version, you can transfer your previous GTA Online character and progression data from your PS3/Xbox 360 to PS4/Xbox One. You need a Rockstar Games Social Club account linked to the Gamertag used when previously playing GTA Online.

When entering GTA Online, you will be given the option to transfer your previous GTA Online character and progression data. Once you have chosen to transfer your previous character and progression data, the transferable in-game money, RP and Rank of all previous characters will be displayed - these are the characters that will be transferred to the new console.

Any existing GTA Online character and progression data on the new console will be replaced by the previous character and progression data during the transfer, except for any existing in-game money, which will be combined with your transferred balance.

Once the transfer has completed, you will be prompted to choose a character and enter GTA Online.

You will still be able to play with your existing characters on PS3/Xbox 360. However, any progress made with characters on the new console after a transfer will remain on the new console only.
