How to transfer GTA Online from PS4 to PS5: Some things to keep in mind
Rockstar Games does not allow transferring a GTA Online profile from console to PC, PC to console, or even between consoles of two different brands. This means that you can only migrate your PS4 profile to PS5, Xbox One profile to Xbox Series X/S, and GTA 5 Legacy PC profile to GTA 5 Enhanced on PC.
Note that your profile will exist on both consoles even after migration, but the progress will be separate on PS4 and PS5 from that point onwards.
Further, note that profile migration is a one-time process and it cannot be reversed. These things will also be mentioned in an Alert notification when transferring your GTA Online profile to PS5.
