Will GTA Online Get Cross-Play?
Grand Theft Auto Online has been hugely popular for Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two, but the game is missing one feature that has found its way into a lot of other multiplayer games: cross-play. If you're on an Xbox platform, you're playing with Xbox players, and the same is true for PlayStation. Unfortunately, that appears to still be the case for the new-gen versions on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, despite the addition of a transfer system for moving story data and GTA Online progress.
As we mentioned, as of now, GTA Online does not feature cross-play. Unlike games like Call of Duty: Warzone and Fortnite, you can't play with someone on another platform. Initially, this likely had to do with what was standard when the game launched in late 2013. Cross-play was basically unheard of, with platforms locked down. That didn't really change until 2018, which was well after GTA Online had come to current-gen systems and PC.
