Which Rockstar Games are Backward Compatible? GTA V, LA Noire,...

The next generation consoles are almost here and we can’t wait!

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will both be released next week. We were wondering which games are backwards compatible and now we’re finally getting some answers.

Rockstar has announced which games from its catalog can be played on PS5 and Series X, and there are some absolute classics on offer! We have the full list here!

Rock it on next-gen

Let’s start with the two already well-known, Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. GTA V was announced in September to find its way to the next generation after the release of the next generation consoles.

RDR2 will also be available for PS5 and Series X, which means that both Red Dead and GTA Online will be available for the next generation. Also available is LA Noire, which will be playable in the next generation, including its VR case files.

The following 360 games are also available for Xbox Series X that are compatible with the new console:

• Bully: Stipendienausgabe
• GTA IV
• GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City
• GTA San Andreas
• Mitternachtsclub: LA
• Red Dead Redemption
• Table tennis

Amazingly, there are also PS2s that go all the way up to the PS5. These are as follows:

• Harass
• GTA III
• GTA: Vice City
• GTA San Andreas
• Manhunt
• Max Payne
• Red dead revolver
• the Warriors

What about my backup files?

It’s very easy, especially if you have downloadable copies of these games. You can find these Rockstar games ready to download from PS or Xbox stores, and they will work on your next-gen console.

If you have a CD copy of these games, they’ll work as long as you see them on this list. The only exception is the digital PS5 and the S series, which have no drives. So keep that in mind before upgrading.

If you’re wondering about your backup files, they can be transferred across generations via USB or the cloud. This is as long as you stay on PlayStation or Xbox.

Just like moving GTA Online from PS3 and 360 to the current generation, your progress will carry over. This also applies to Red Dead Online. All you have to do is use the Social Club.

What about GTA VI?

We are still waiting.

There’s nothing official yet from Rockstar regarding their next game after Red Dead Redemption 2. They’d expect a new GTA to be in the pipeline, but when it will arrive is unclear.

There have been rumors that Rockstar’s next project is for Bully to get a sequel, but that apparently was shelves. With how mysterious Rockstar is about their games in development, a reveal might be around the corner!
