A return to GTA V before GTA VI can begin with an unexpectedly practical question: which progress do you want to continue? On PC, a Story Mode save and a GTA Online profile are different transfer tasks. Do not begin one expecting it to complete both.
Rockstar's Legacy-to-Enhanced Story Mode instructions first require the appropriate linked PC account. In Legacy, the documented route is Pause Menu, Game, then Upload Save Game. Select the intended save and wait for the upload confirmation.
Check the save before the final step
The source guide allows the uploaded Story save to be updated until it is downloaded in Enhanced. Once that download succeeds, the account cannot perform another Story Mode migration through this process. Later Legacy progress will not update the Enhanced save.
Our advice is to open the save you intend to keep, check its progress and decide whether you are ready to make that transition before confirming. Treat a clear in-game confirmation as the result, rather than assuming that reaching a menu means the operation finished.
For the download, use the Story landing page when prompted or the Game menu's Download Save Game option in Enhanced. Follow the confirmation carefully and use the same intended account.
Handle Online separately
Rockstar documents Online-profile migration through Enhanced's Online landing page or its Migrate Profile menu. If Online is what you need, use that dedicated guide rather than repeating the Story save workflow.
This article is about selecting and carrying out the documented PC Story transfer. It does not cover every eligibility case or assert that a transfer is reversible. Stop and consult the linked support guidance if your account or prompts do not match it.
The instructions were checked on October 29, 2026. Neither GTA V migration route establishes a transfer path for GTA VI, and this guide makes no such promise.
