Is GTA 5 & GTA Online cross-platform?

No, cross-platform play is not available in GTA 5 or GTA Online. Rockstar Games has not implemented crossplay for the title, despite it being quite a common feature for games in 2024.

As the game has been released on various consoles over time, each platform would likely need to undergo various changes to enable every player to have a fair shot at surviving online, regardless of their preferences.

When will crossplay come to GTA 5 & GTA Online?

There is no information as to whether GTA 5 or its online counterpart will ever receive crossplay.

Considering that we are so late in the game’s development cycle, and, as the game is now nearly a decade old, implementation of crossplay at this stage seems unlikely.

And, with GTA 6 coming in 2025, it’s even more unlikely that Rockstar will put development time into implementing crossplay for GTA 5 and its online features.
