The quick answer

Rockstar’s PC storefront help describes sharing characters and progress through the same Rockstar Games account across supported PC launchers. That older storefront explanation is not evidence that Legacy and Enhanced continuously synchronize.[1][2]

Understand the distinction

Two separate questions matter: which Rockstar account owns the progress, and which game edition is running. Our diagnostic checklist keeps both visible so a storefront change is not mistaken for a migration.[1][2]

Suggested checklist

  1. Record the launcher, game edition and Rockstar account currently in use.[1][2]
  2. Compare those details with the installation where the expected progress appears.[1][2]
  3. Use the edition-specific migration instructions if the difference is Legacy versus Enhanced.[1][2]

Limits and next steps

Do not unlink a PC storefront account as a routine repair. Rockstar may need to handle account-link issues through support.[1][2]

Continue with GTA V Legacy or Enhanced: choose the right PC edition.
