Can I play GTA Online across PS4 and PS5 platforms?

Yes, you can play GTA Online across PS4 and PS5 platforms. Rockstar Games provides backward compatibility for Grand Theft Auto Online, which means if you have a copy of the game for PS4, you can also play it on your PS5. Not only does this ensure that you can continue your progress on the newer console, but it also allows for cross-generation play where players on PS4 can play with those on PS5 within the same online servers. Keep in mind that to transfer your GTA Online character and progression from PS4 to PS5, Rockstar has specific steps that need to be followed, and an active PlayStation Plus membership may be required for online play.
