Bit strange that you can’t transfer online progress from 360/PS3 to XONE/PS4, particularly as the online accounts will typically be the same acrosss the two platforms.
Yeah that's pretty strange. I'm guessing they didn't design the accounts with cross progression when they ported the games over and decided it would require too much effort to go back and update it.
Well then you’d hope that they have designed them that way for the Series X/PS5 ports. Can’t imagine too many people wanting to start from scratch again.
Cross progression is a much more common feature now so I'd be surprised if it doesn't.
you could transfer everything over when the xbox one and ps4 versions 1st come out seems like they just want you to buy everything again
Oh really? In that case it's just them being greedy, which really isn't that surprising lol
i did it from the 360 to the PS4 didn't even need to be console from same company it did it via rockstar social club account
Oh that's interesting. The PS3 and 360 versions stopping getting updates years ago so I guess they figured there aren't enough players left to bother.
