How to Transfer Your GTA Online Profile from Xbox 360 to PC

If you have played GTA Online on Xbox 360 and want to switch to PC you cannot transfer your profile directly. This is because Rockstar Games stopped supporting character transfers from older consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3) to newer platforms (PC PS4 and Xbox One) in March 2017¹. However there are two possible workarounds that you can try:

Option 1: Use Cloud Storage

You can use cloud storage to backup your GTA Online character on Xbox 360 and then download it onto a PC. To do this you need to have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription and a Rockstar Social Club account linked to both platforms. Here are the steps:

1. On your Xbox 360 console go to Settings > System > Storage > Cloud Saved Games and enable cloud storage.

4. Launch GTA V on your PC and go to Online mode. Log in using the same Rockstar Social Club account credentials as your Xbox 360 account. If there is save game data tied to that account on the cloud you will receive a prompt asking if you would like to download it onto your PC. Select yes and the download will start.
5. Wait for the download to complete. This may take a few minutes depending on your internet speed and the size of your data. Once the download is done you will be able to access your GTA Online character on PC with all your money rank stats vehicles properties and more.

3. On your next-gen console log in to Rockstar Social Club using the same account credentials as your Xbox 360 account. Go to Settings > Linked Accounts > Link Accounts and link your next-gen console account.
4. Launch GTA V on your next-gen console and go to Online mode. Log in using the same Rockstar Social Club account credentials as your Xbox 360 account. If there is save game data tied to that account on the cloud you will receive a prompt asking if you would like to transfer it onto your next-gen console. Select yes and the transfer will start.
5. Wait for the transfer to complete. This may take a few minutes depending on your internet speed and the size of your data. Once the transfer is done you will be able to access your GTA Online character on your next-gen console with all your money rank stats vehicles properties and more.
