Accounts, editions and migration: protect your progress

Check compatibility and the migration rules before overwriting a character or switching editions.

01 / GTA ONLINE

Match the edition first

PC multiplayer is separate from console multiplayer. For the PC Legacy-to-Enhanced route, Rockstar retains the Legacy profile after migration, but subsequent progress is not synchronized between the two. PC-to-console and console-to-PC migration are not supported by that process. Read the confirmation screen before creating a new character over an occupied slot.

02 / GTA ONLINE

Secure the account

Verify the email address on the Rockstar account and enable 2-Step Verification through Account, Manage Account, then Security. Use an authenticator you can retain access to. Keep the password and authentication codes private; a service offering to recover or boost an account does not need legitimate access to your login.

03 / GTA ONLINE

When something goes wrong

Record the platform, edition and exact alert, then use Rockstar Support. Do not unlink and relink accounts as an improvised troubleshooting step: progress and entitlements can depend on the linked identity. For PC anti-cheat launch issues, follow the BattlEye support guidance rather than attempting to bypass it.
