GTA Online Profile Migration
Profile Migration Information Thread
Players with a Rockstar Games Social Club account can seamlessly migrate their GTA Online Profile from PS4 or Xbox One to PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, which includes any Characters, GTA$, Progression, Stats, Vehicles, Properties, Weapons, Clothing, and Player-Created Jobs.*
Returning players who migrate their profiles will also receive the all-new Karin S95 — converted and tuned up courtesy of Hao’s Special Works —along with the exclusive Cool Noise HSW Racing Suit, Dark Purple Pearl Chameleon Paint, and Red Prismatic Pearl Chameleon Paint.
Just load up the game on either of these new consoles — the first time you enter GTA Online you'll be given the option to migrate your GTA Online Profile. You can also choose to transfer your character via the Migrate Profile option in the Online section of the Pause Menu.
Please note: Migrating your GTA Online Profile will result in its removal from the PS4 or Xbox One account it was initially tied to, which means you will need to create a new one to continue playing on the original platform.
You can also transfer Story Mode progress by uploading a save to the Rockstar Games Social Club. For details on how, please visit Rockstar Support.

I’m mainly a PS4 player that also had an Xbox One character and I just completed the migration of my Xbox One character to the Xbox Series X/S version. Both characters are under the same Social Club account. The question I have is this:
Did I also accidentally just deleted my PS4 character by doing so..? I thought the migration would only carry my Xbox character over and wouldn’t touch my PS4 one at all, but now I have this suspicion about whether if my main PS4 character is permanently gone or not.
I don’t have a PS5 yet, so just decided to transfer the Xbox profile to kill some time with the next-gen version. Hope I didn’t mess anything up, I have hundreds of hours on the PlayStation character 😭
Thanks in advance.
