How to transfer GTA 5 Story Mode Progress to PS5 and Xbox Series X

GTA 5 is one of the most successful games to have ever been released, both critically and commercially. As such, it's no surprise that Rockstar Games is remastering it for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

The upcoming re-release of GTA 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S should primarily cater to new players though it's likely that many veteran players will also return to explore Los Santos in its fresh new coat of paint. Given the depth and scope of the open world of GTA 5, many might also be looking to transfer their story mode progress from last-gen consoles to current-gen consoles, and here's how exactly you can do it.

Transferring GTA 5 progress to PS5 & Xbox Series X/S

First things first, you must ensure that your Rockstar Games Social Club account is linked to the console account you use to play GTA 5. After that, you must upload your GTA 5 story mode progress to Rockstar Games Social Club.

You can upload your GTA 5 save file on Rockstar Games Social Club by going to the pause menu in-game and selecting the game section, where you will notice the option to upload your save game progress. Remember that you can only upload one save file at a time, which will only be available for download for 90 days on Rockstar Games Social Club. After that period, you may have to reupload the save file.
