Rockstar Games was announced last year GTA 5 i GTA online for PS5 and Xbox Series X. At the time, the developer noted that the pair would hit next-generation consoles in “expanded and improved” form. At the time of publication, no additional details are offered about the ports and how they are expanded and improved, but a new leak has conveyed word of a feature that players can expect. Unfortunately, it’s not very exciting, but yes players will feel relieved to feel in the process.
The news of the feature is the way of a recent version GTA online update and, more specifically, the files for that update. With the update, Rockstar Games added new files for character transfer. The files themselves, “CHasCharacterToTransferDecisionPage,” don’t directly divulge anything too prominent, but that seems to suggest that Rockstar Games is working on a character transfer process when the game hits PS5 and Xbox Series X. In other words, it looks like players will not have to start from scratch with a new character, and will be able to transfer their progress to new machines.
While this may seem like an obvious feature, especially since the game made this PS4 and Xbox One, it was by no means a guarantee. It would be very easy for Rockstar Games to force players to start over, as this could have more economic benefits than letting players transfer their character. Of course, this would be a big public relations mistake, but it could justify the decision while hiding behind the “expanded and improved” marketing slogan. That said, it looks like Rockstar Games will avoid this hurdle and allow the transfer of characters.
For now, grab it all with a grain of salt, as everything here is information on the filtered variety, and because it is tied to some speculation.
At the time of posting, Rockstar Games has not commented on this leak. If that changes, we will be sure to update the story with all that is provided, remarkable or not.
