‘GTA 5’: How To Keep Your Progress And Transfer Your Save To The Enhanced Edition

Players of Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC can now access the GTA 5 Enhanced update, which includes graphical enhancements such as ray-traced reflections, improved load times for SSD users, ambient occlusion, global illumination, enhanced framerate scalability, and support for Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR. The save transfer process allows players to transfer saves only between the Legacy PC version and the Enhanced version, requiring a Rockstar Social Club account. Accounts with bans or suspensions, or those with insufficient progress on the Legacy version, are ineligible for transfers. Players can upload their single-player save by launching the Legacy version, pausing the game, and selecting "Upload Save Game." To download the save in the Enhanced version, players must launch the Enhanced game, navigate to the Game tab, and select "Download Save Game." Transferring online progress is simpler; players just need to start GTA: Online in the Enhanced version and select their character to migrate progress. The Enhanced version is treated as a separate game, preventing players from joining friends who have not upgraded.
