The first thing to note if you want to get the GTA 5 Enhanced Version, is that it's a completely separate product to the PS4 or Xbox One release of GTA 5 you already have installed. You won't be able to access the updated edition from your existing game or receive any prompts there to upgrade, so instead you'll need to head to the Store for your respective console, then search for the current-gen version of GTA 5 to get the upgrade process started.

No, the GTA 5 Expanded and Enhanced Version is not a free upgrade. Thanks to Sony's long-standing relationship with Rockstar and GTA, the Enhanced Edition is cheaper on PS5 than Xbox Series X, and you can find all of the details for this in our separate GTA 5 price guide. There is also a standalone version of GTA Online available at a lower price, but that doesn't include the single-player story and you'll need an active PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass subscription in order to play it.

Once you've purchased and installed the GTA 5 Enhanced Version, you'll just need to transfer GTA 5 Story Mode progress to PS5 and Xbox Series X then follow the process for how to transfer GTA Online and you'll be all set. But can you play GTA Online on PS5 with PS4 players? We've got all of the crossplay information you'll need too.
