Is GTA 5 Enhanced crossplay?

"Is GTA 5 Enhanced crossplay?" is a question on the minds of quite a few Grand Theft Auto fans. Rockstar Games released this latest version of its popular title for PC on March 4, 2025. Those who already own the original version on the platform got it for free, whereas others have the option to buy this version separately. It has some new features and technical improvements over the old PC version.

Given that crossplay is now becoming pretty common in modern video games, many seem to be curious about whether it is also a part of this new Rockstar release. Unfortunately, the answer to that question is no. With that said, let's dive deeper into the topic.

The answer to "Is GTA 5 Enhanced crossplay?" is no

Crossplay is a feature that lets gamers on different platforms play together. This basically means that those on a console can play a crossplay-compatible title with those on a PC or a different console brand.

As mentioned, this feature is becoming quite common in modern video games and is even present in competitive multiplayer titles such as Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6. That said, GTA 5 Enhanced PC does not support crossplay, just like the original version (now known as GTA 5 Legacy).

In fact, the Enhanced version does not even support crossplay with Legacy, despite being on the same platform (PC). This means that GTA Online (Grand Theft Auto 5's multiplayer) players on the Enhanced version of the title cannot play with Legacy version users.

Is GTA 5 Enhanced crossplay-compatible on consoles?
