Thanks for the answer! So this article is entirely wrong? Or can you only transfer a PS4 character on Xbox?
You can't transfer from PS5 to Series X or vice versa. Only from previous gen consoles to current gen. You can move from PS4 to Series X or from Xbox One to PS5.
The transfer is just for bringing your last gen character to a current gen platform, so you can move from PS4 to Xbox (specifically to the new Series X version, not the original Xbox One version) and vise versa but even that comes with some caveats (eg. you can't move unspent bought currency between platforms, only currency earned in game). There is no platform transfer between characters created on the new versions.
Thank you both! Feels a bit archaic but that's good to know.
Just for confirmation, this is what the migration menu in the game says:
It is. But they did the same thing during the jump from 360/PS3 to XB1/PS4. Then they proceeded to update the heck out of online mode and leaving 360/PS3 in the dust over the years.
I imagine they have the same plans now for XSX/PS5. Wonder what more they have in store for stuff they couldn't do on last gen hardware.
Because of tech limitations like cars that are way too fast for last gen. It should Pool ps5 and series players together though.
Yes, but you need to make sure you log in on PS4 and can see the money on your character there before doing the migration.
Ps5 version has way better anti aliasing than pc… will there be an update to the pc version to bring it up at some point?
Hearing some of these dual sense upgrades makes me want the PS5 version, wasn't sure if that or the XSX ran better. 10 bucks cheaper doesn't hurt either.
Isn't GTA Online currently free for this month on PS5? I would recommend just downloading that. See if you like the dual sense features, then buy the new version if you dig it.
Is the HDR implementation new to this release or has that been available on last gen + PC for awhile? It certainly goes a ways in the presentation.
I played it on PC ages ago and don't remember seeing anything for it in the options at the time.
That's what I've ended up doing. This is also my third attempt at trying to finish the game and my big old galaxy brain just realised if you use Franklin's driving focus it acts as bullet time for drive by's.
Any performance comparisons between SX and PS5? I have both consoles and want the best performance. Im leaning Xbox due to VRR.
There is an option in the controls menu to shoot with only one button like on GTA IV.
Ive put a few hours into single player using performance RT on the PS5 and never noticed a single drop. And I'm pretty sensitive to drops
I'm on Series X and the dual sense features/ impressions , especially in this game, make me really curious. It's the ONE feature that I'm missing on Xbox .
I really wonder what it feels like.
So out of morbid curiosity I picked up both. Dualsense features aren't game changing but their definitely a welcome addition. The biggest difference I've noticed is the input lag on the series x seems a lot more noticeable than on the PS5. Could just be me but the PS5 version just feels better to play in my opinion. Using game mode on an OLED B7.
The haptics are really good. My favourite is the feeling of launching missiles in the Buzzard, it just gives it so much oomph.
Rockstar have phoned in a lot of stuff recently, so I was quite shocked at the amount of effort they put into the DualSense features. I assume they figure it's code they can roll into future games, so worth investing in.

Haven't noticed any frame drops on the ps5 in RT performance mode. The only thing I notice is the pop in and I'm not sure if the series X version is similar. The dual sense features are also a nice little addition.
Thanks fam. I may go PS5 then. It's $10 bucks too.
Haptics kick in for things like water sprinkler being set off in the first mission and I imagine things like rain. Driving over different terrain is probably the most noticeable and you can feel individual planks of wood when driving over a wooden bridge, for example.
Triggers are hit and miss for me (as usual). I hate resistance when using the left trigger to aim as it doesn't make any sense and that's in play here (but not as strong as something like Resident Evil 8). There's also a click when shooting and it feels pretty similar to the Uncharted remaster.
Driving is where it's implemented well and you can feel a subtle difference between car engines (V8 move thee trigger a bit more) and also when the brakes lock up.
It's the sort thing where if I turned the features off after playing for a few hours the world would probably feel a little more lifeless. So I say that's a win for the implementation.

That's what I did. The convinced me to buy the PS5 version instead of Series X version.
Very interesting, thanks.
Yes, it seems to add to the immersion quite a bit.
It should be there if you ever log into the PS4 version I think. Obviously if you start the PS5 version without a PS4 account to import then you won't have it.
Ah I thought maybe it was tied to my PSN account and not the game. Not worth the trouble
No drops at all on Series X in single or online mode with performance RT mode.
I played GTAO this morning and I wanted to play Top Fun, but I could not find out how to do it. Can anyone tell me how to get into mini-games like this please? I appreciate that they want to keep everything consistent within the game world but I wish you could just choose this stuff easily from a menu.
Sweet!
Okay, thanks. I'll begin this process when I get home from work.
You probably chose to download GTAO? That's what I did, then it wasn't clear how to access the PS5 version, but I think to get things to work you'll have to go into the PlayStation Store on your PS5 and there should be an option to buy the game (single player campaign) for $10.
I had to turn it down to Low, but even at that point, the DualSense implementation is good enough to give the cars some feeling during braking.
Lol, FFS that's why my character only has $75k instead of over a million. This process is so fucking convoluted and tedious.
basically, contrast controls shadow detail, paper white is overall scene brightness, peak white/max luminance should be set to whatever amount of nits your display reaches as peak white. im still playing with it myself all the time, but finding the right paper white can be hard because of how the lighting changes
Personally, I lowered the contrast by 1 click to the left and the rest is on standard, I accidentally had Dynamic Tone Mapping activated for this with contrast lowered by 1 and rest standard and DTM makes it look incredible, so for this exception, I use DTM, while I normally use HGIG, of course, I know I know, but here it makes the HDR absolute fantastic. Just give it a try. Not a fan of most settings that got shared here like lowering paper white to the absolute minimum, that looks awful.
EvilBoris recommendation:
Contrast: 100
Paperwhite: 100
Peak Brightness: depends on your TV. Mine is set to 800 for the LG 65CX
Gamingtech/Amok4all recommendation:
Contrast: 80
Paperwhite: 220
Peak Brightness: depends on your TV. Mine is set to 800 for the LG 65CX
