But can you actually do this?
Or is there a catch?
That is what this article will answer.
So, lets get started.
Can PS4 And PS5 Play GTA V Together?
No, you cannot play GTA V on PS4 and PS5 together.
If have that on PS5, then you cannot join your friends on GTA Online.
That means only the players who upgraded to PS5 and downloaded the enhanced edition can play together.
You may have guessed it already, and yes, it uses backward compatibility to achieve this.
The PS5 can fire off the PS4 version of GTA 5.
This feature comes in handy if you already have an old copy of GTA 5.
Just pop that on the PS5, and you are good to go.
But you should know that you will be missing the improved graphics that comes with the enhanced edition.
Is Crossplay Supported in GTA V?
No, GTA V does not support crossplay.
That means players on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation cannot join each other in GTA Online.
As for PC users, GTA 5 is available through many game launchers.
Steam, Epic, GOG, etc., are just a few I can name here.
Luckily there are no such restrictions for PC players who are looking to join a GTA Online game.

Final Words
I think it is time for Rockstar to bring cross-play to GTA V now.
I mean, its been 10 years since the game launched, and it is still going strong.
But one should keep up their hopes.
Thats all for today.
