How to Transfer GTA V Story Mode & Online Progress to Enhanced Edition on PC
Transferring Story Mode Saves
If you’ve spent countless hours in Story Mode, you can continue from where you left off by following these steps.
Before You Begin
- The transfer is PC-exclusive (no cross-platform transfers).
- Only one save file can be uploaded per Rockstar Games account.
- The save will be available for 90 days after uploading.
- Ensure your Rockstar Games account is linked to your PC platform.
Steps to Upload Your Save from GTA V Legacy
- Launch GTA V Legacy Edition on PC.
- Open the Pause Menu and navigate to Game > Upload Save Game.
- Select the save file you want to transfer.
- Confirm your upload (ensure you’re selecting the correct save).
- Wait for the upload confirmation message.
Tip: You can overwrite the uploaded save before downloading it in the Enhanced Edition.
Steps to Download Save in GTA V Enhanced
- Open GTA V Enhanced Edition on PC.
- From the landing page, select Story Mode > Download Save Game.
- Alternatively, in-game, go to Pause Menu > Game > Download Save Game.
- Select your uploaded save and confirm the download.
- Your progress will load in the Enhanced Edition.
Transferring GTA Online Progress
If you’re playing GTA Online, you can migrate your character, rank, money, and progress from the Legacy version to the Enhanced Edition.
Requirements for GTA Online Transfer
- Your Rockstar Games account must be linked to your PC platform.
- All GTA$ earned in-game will transfer (except Shark Card purchases, which remain on the original version).
- Character progression, stats, and properties will carry over.
- You must log in with the same Rockstar Games account used in the Legacy version.
Steps to Transfer GTA Online Data
- Launch GTA V Enhanced Edition on PC.
- Select GTA Online from the main menu.
- A migration prompt will appear. Choose “Migrate Online Profile.”
- Confirm the transfer and wait for the process to complete.
- Once done, you can start playing with your old character in the Enhanced Edition.
Important Considerations
- The transfer is irreversible – once moved to the Enhanced Edition, you cannot return to the Legacy version.
- Progress made in the Legacy Edition after the transfer won’t sync – any further progress stays behind.
- One-time transfer per account – you cannot transfer multiple accounts or share progress between accounts.
By following these steps and keeping these considerations in mind, you should be able to seamlessly continue your game in Los Santos without a hitch.
