How to migrate your Story Mode Save from GTA 5 Legacy to GTA 5 Enhanced

- Upload Story Mode Save from Legacy to Rockstar games. You can do that by selecting Pause menu in-game (Legacy), picking Game and uploading the save you wish to transfer.
- Download the save to Enhanced copy via the Landing Page (if you don’t have Story Mode Game Saves on your PC) or Pause menu (if you have Story Mode Game Saves on your PC).
Open GTA 5 Enhanced and pick the Story tab on the Landing Page. If there are any available saves, you should see a notification.
Alternatively open the Pause Menu, select the Game option and Download save. Pick the file you want to play.
If you have any further issues with the process, you may go to the official Rockstar support website.
While doing the above, you have to remember about a few things:
- You can’t migrate saves between PC and console.
- There is a note in the rules that states: Some Profiles may not be eligible for migration for several reasons, such as account suspensions, account bans, or the Profile having illegitimate or insufficient progress. What does it mean? Theoretically, if you use mods or cheated, the transfer may not be possible.
- You can upload to Rockstar servers only one save but you can update it later to the point of its migration to Enhanced edition.
- After you download successfully the save to Enhanced version, you can’t change it.
