Does GTA Online have a Cross Platform Feature?
Cross-platform play is a multiplayer game-play where gamers can play with each other regardless of the platform they’re using. For example, someone playing on a PC can play with someone using a PlayStation or Xbox, and vice-versa. So, does GTA support cross-platform?
Despite its popularity, Grand Theft Auto (GTA) does not support crossplay across different platforms. This means that players can only team up with or fight against others who are using the same platform.
That is; players on the PS5 version of the game will only come across those playing on the PS5 version, players using PC will only come across players using PC, players using the Xbox series will only come across players using the Xbox series, and so on.

Cross Platform Future Prediction on GTA

The expanded and enhanced versions of the game also do not support crossplay, and players with the previous-gen versions cannot play with those who have the newer versions. If you want to play with friends who have the previous-gen versions, you will need to load up the old-gen version on your Xbox Series X/S or PlayStation 5.
Despite its popularity, the lack of crossplay support in GTA 5 may be disappointing for some players, especially as more and more games introduce crossplay features. While it’s unlikely that it will be added anytime soon, there is still a small chance that it may be added in the future.
