No, GTA 5 does not support crossplay.
No, Grand Theft Auto V does not support crossplay at this time. Players are limited to playing within their own platform's ecosystem. Cross-progression is not supported, so your saves stay tied to the platform you play on.
GTA 5 is available on the following platforms:
| Feature | Supported | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Crossplay | No | Players are limited to their own platform. |
| Cross-Progression | No | Saves and unlocks stay tied to each platform. |
| Split Screen / Couch Co-op | No | Online multiplayer only — no shared-screen play. |
No — GTA 5 does not support cross-progression. Saves and unlocks stay tied to the platform where you earned them.
There is no ongoing cross-progression. The only transfer Rockstar supports is a one-time migration of your Story Mode and GTA Online progress from PlayStation 4 or Xbox One to PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S. Profiles cannot be migrated between the PlayStation and Xbox families or to PC, and once migrated, progress on the two console generations no longer syncs. Earned GTA$ carries over, but purchased Shark Card GTA$ only transfers within the same console family.
No — GTA 5 does not offer split screen or couch co-op. To play together, each player needs their own system running the game.
There is no split screen or local co-op in GTA V. Story Mode is single-player only, and every GTA Online session is online, so each player needs their own console or PC and their own copy of the game.
GTA Online is a persistent online mode for up to 30 players, but it is strictly same-platform: PC, PlayStation and Xbox players cannot join each other, and Rockstar has never added crossplay across the game's many re-releases. Sessions are also tied to a specific edition, so a PS4 and a PS5 player only meet if they are both running the same version of the game.
GTA V's Story Mode is a full single-player campaign that runs offline, following Michael, Franklin and Trevor with no internet or other players required. GTA Online is a separate, always-online multiplayer mode that does need a connection — the two are distinct parts of the same game.
No. Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online have no crossplay — PC, PlayStation and Xbox players cannot play together, and Rockstar has never added cross-platform play.
Only if they are on the same edition. A PS5 player has to install the last-gen 'Legacy' version to join PS4 friends; the newer Enhanced edition does not connect to the PS4 version.
No ongoing cross-save. Rockstar allows a single one-time migration of your character from PS4 / Xbox One to PS5 / Xbox Series X|S, but progress does not sync across platforms afterward, and PC is excluded.
No. Rockstar blocks all character transfers to and from PC. Migration only works from PS4 / Xbox One to the matching PS5 / Xbox Series X|S console.
No. There is no split-screen or local co-op. Story Mode is single-player, and GTA Online is online-only with each player on their own device.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has no crossplay — PC, PlayStation and Xbox players are each locked to their own platform, with the only overlap being cross-generation compatibility within a family (PS4 with PS5, Xbox One with Xbox Series X|S). There is no cross-progression: your Red Dead Online rank and progress are tied to the platform you earned them on, and PC is excluded even from that. Story Mode is a single-player, offline campaign. Rockstar wound down major Red Dead Online updates in 2022, so this is unlikely to change.

Sea of Thieves has full crossplay across PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), Xbox and — since April 2024 — PlayStation 5, all tied to a Microsoft account. Crews run up to four (six on a Galleon), and console players can switch on a controller-only matchmaking preference to avoid PC mouse-and-keyboard opponents. It's online-only, with a solo-friendly Safer Seas mode and no split-screen.

Genshin Impact has full crossplay across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and mobile through your HoYoverse account, with co-op unlocking at Adventure Rank 16. The catch: you and your friends must be on the same server region to join each other, and that region can't be changed once chosen. It's online-only, with no split-screen.

Star Wars Outlaws is Ubisoft's story-driven, open-world Star Wars adventure — a single-player game with no online or local multiplayer, so crossplay doesn't apply across its PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 versions. It plays fully offline and runs on Steam Deck.

Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) is a mostly single-player medieval open-world romp with only minor multiplayer, and it has no crossplay — its PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch versions are each locked to their own platform. Given the solo focus, that makes little practical difference.
