With the upcoming P55 and Xbox X/S Series launches this month, Rockstar is announcing backwards compatibility for many of its titles, the biggest they've announced being Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2, as well as newer versions of LA Noire.
For those of you who have the physics of a backwards compatible game, you'll be able to insert this disc directly into your new PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. For digital game owners, they'll have instant access to download any compatible Rockstar Games titles they've already linked to their Playstation Network or Xbox Live account. On PS5, they will be available in the "Your Game Library Collection" section and on Xbox X/S Series in the "Ready to Install" section.
Backup transfer is possible and also that your current progress and successes in Grand Theft Auto Online and Red Dead Online will also be preserved, as long as you are using the same PlayStation Network or Xbox Live account on the new console.
In addition, all previous Rockstar Games titles backwards compatible on Xbox One will also be backwards compatible on Xbox Series X/S. This includes those games released for Xbox 360 or the original Xbox:
- Bully: Scholarship Edition
