GTA: Online character transferring

[CLR-GTR]

One of the main features of GTA V next gen is the possibility to, one single time, transfer your GTA Online account to the new gen consoles/game. VG247 wrote a guide on how to do it:

 

GTA 5 guide: how to transfer characters to PS4 and Xbox One in GTA Online | VG247

 

Remember though:

 

Important things to note:

 

• If you’ve already been playing GTA Online on PS4 or Xbox One and have character progression saved, transferring your Xbox 360 or PS3 character will overwrite your new character and stats. Apart from cash. Any new cash you’ve earned will be combined with the cash you’re transferring over.
  
• Any money you’ve purchased in GTA Online can only be transferred within the same console family. In-game money you’ve purchased on the Xbox 360 will not transfer over to the PS4 and vice versa.
  
• You can continue playing GTA Online on 360 or PS3 with your old character but stats etc will not be transferred over again. It was a one-time deal.
  

What isn’t transferred over?

 

• Any in-game money purchased on a different console family. So money purchased on the Xbox 360 will not copy over to the PS4 etc.
  
• Published Job Playlists and bookmarked Playlists will not transfer over to a different console family.
  
• Leaderboards, world records and personal bests.
  
• Snapmatic photos within the game, although they will stil be available on the Rockstar Social Club site.
  

 

 

But it doesn't end here. No game launch without problems, and even the best shall suffer. The whole transferring of accounts seems to fail with profiles that haven't logged in since 2013:

 

“No previous Grand theft Auto Online data is associated with your Social Club account,” the error reads. Going back to the original console and trying to login there also doesn’t work and throws a “Rockstar services are unavailable” error.

Rockstar is aware of the issue and has created a support page for it.

“We are urgently looking into an issue preventing character transfer and GTA Online login on accounts that haven’t played GTA Online since 2013,” says Rockstar.

“If you would like to receive an automatic email notification as soon as there is more information, please log into the Support Site and click Subscribe at the top of this page. Apologies for any inconvenience caused, and thanks for your patience.”

 

Also, if you plan on heading straight into Online, brace yourself for impact of a sunlight-blocking 1.14 Gb patch. Only required for online play though, you won't have to worry about it immediately if you intend on playing offline first.

 

And to end with good news, did you know the revised GTA V soundtrack features 162 additional songs?

Yeah it's all true, started playing last night.

 

The game really is different in first person and the graphics are well improved.
