can you transfer characters multiple times between consoles?

Hey, I'm wondering if I transfer my character from 360 to ps4 will I also be able to transfer the same character from 360 to my One in the future? Or even from the ps4 to the one that would be much better but I can't imagine that would be possible, anyone know? Thanks

Only once.

Currently you can only get one transfer between consoles. You can however do two transfers if you transfer from last gen to current gen, then current gen to pc (whenever its released).

I have a feeling that you could be able to talk your way into getting another transfer out of Rockstar support if you're really persistent. From what I've heard they have a pretty good track record of trying to make their customers happy.

Don't take that as a definite yes though.

can you transfer characters multiple times between consoles?

Currently, if you had transferred to PC from the PS4 or XB1 prior to March of 2017 you are ineligible to transfer from PS4 or XB1 to any next-gen console. This appears to be a bug and R* are looking into it.

The issue has been resolved and players who had accounts on PS4 or XB1 that were transferred to PC before March of 2017 can now transfer that character from their PS4 or XB1 normally.

You can migrate your profile through either the GTA Online Landing Page or Pause Menu once you have signed in to the Rockstar Games Social Club on your preferred console.

IMPORTANT: Once your progress has been transferred from PlayStation 4 or Xbox One to PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, your migrated profile will no longer be available on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.

*Additionally, profiles cannot be transferred between PlayStation 4 or Xbox One to PC.

Landing Page

After choosing the Online option from the Landing Page you will be presented with a Migrate Profile screen. From here, choose what platform account profile you wish to migrate from. You must then confirm that you wish to migrate the selected profile with the understanding that any unspent purchased GTA$ are not eligible for transfer across platforms (i.e., PlayStation 4 to Xbox Series X|S, or Xbox One to PlayStation 5). An alert screen will let you know when the migration successfully completes.

NOTE: Any players who have previously purchased the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack will also be alerted that all discounts associated with that pack will be applied in the game.

Players will then be brought to the Review Character screen where they can choose to start a new character or continue with their existing one.

Choosing to continue with a new character will overwrite the existing character slot. If you have not created a new character via the Career Builder, you will be brought to the Career Builder selection screen. If you choose to continue with your existing character, you will then enter GTA Online.

Pause Menu: If you choose to not migrate your profile during your initial entry into GTA Online on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, you may do so later through the Pause Menu by selecting Online then Migrate Profile. The migration process can then be followed using the steps above.

NOTE: Some profiles may not be eligible for migration for several reasons, such as the account being suspended or banned, or having illegitimate or insufficient progress.

This article was uploaded to R* support and has information on why an account will not be eligible for transfer to E&E.

Question: Why am I receiving the following error message saying that my GTA Online profile is not eligible for migration?

Alert: The GTA Online profile associated with this Rockstar Games Social Club account is not eligible for migration at this time.

Answer: Players may receive this error message for several reasons including, but not limited to:

The GTA Online profile is currently banned or suspended and is not eligible for migration
The GTA Online profile has already migrated and is no longer eligible for migration
Illegitimate progress was detected on the GTA Online profile and will not be eligible for migration
There is insufficient progress on the GTAO Online profile and it is not currently eligible for migration

How many times can you transfer GTA Online?

Yes, Rockstar now lets players do a one-time GTA 5 account transfer between consoles, albeit in very specific circumstances. Back when GTA V Online was new, it was possible to transfer characters from one console to another, or even one format to another.

How many times can you transfer Rockstar account?

To confirm this means PS4 players can transfer to both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One players can choose to transfer to Xbox Series X|S or PS5. This is done via a one-time transfer through Rockstar Games Social Club.

Can I migrate GTA account later?

If you choose to continue with your existing character, you will then enter GTA Online. If you choose to not migrate your profile during your initial entry into GTA Online on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, you may do so later through the Pause Menu by selecting Online then Migrate Profile.

Can I get my GTA V online character back?

Make sure the servers are up It is most common for your character not to appear when Rockstar's servers are down. Regardless, if you cannot play, check the GTA Server status before proceeding. As long as everything is fine on Rockstar's end, you can continue to retrieve your character.
