How crossplay works (or rather, doesn’t) in GTA 5 Enhanced

The inability to play Grand Theft Auto Online with friends across different platforms persists as of 2025. Rockstar Games has released an Enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto 5, which includes improvements to both the single-player and GTA Online. The original version of GTA 5 will continue to be supported, but it will operate separately from the upgraded version, preventing players on different versions from joining the same sessions. A convoluted workaround for cross-platform play exists, requiring a jailbroken PS4, a developer copy of GTA 5, and access to a private server called Los Santos Online. Rockstar has not confirmed whether GTA 6 will feature crossplay capabilities, and given that Red Dead Online lacks this functionality, it is uncertain if GTA 6 will include it.

Ask Engadget: What are my options when Windows 10 support ends on October 14?

Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. Users can continue to operate their Windows 10 PCs after this date, but they will not receive customer support, security updates, or upgrades, making the system vulnerable. Upgrading to Windows 11 is the best option for most users, provided their hardware meets the minimum requirements. Users can check compatibility with Microsoft's PC Health Check app. If a PC cannot support Windows 11, users may consider buying a new PC, with prices typically ranging from 0 to ,200. Alternatively, users can continue using Windows 10, which poses significant security risks without updates. Another option is to pay for the Windows 10 Extended Security Update (ESU) for an additional year of support until October 13, 2026, available for a fee or Microsoft reward points.
