If I download GTA V onto Xbox S can I play online with someone on Xbox one?

It's important to know which game your friend bought.

I say this because there are currently three versions of the Series X/S game. Gta 5 Online, Gta 5 Series X/S and Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S).

If he has purchased Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S), which gives access to the game for Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X, he can play online with you as long as he downloads the Xbox One version, so you and he will have the same save and can play online.

If he is a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber he can download the game in the Xbox One version and play with you.

Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

If you are referring to an Xbox Series S console, you can only play with them if you are using the Xbox One backward compatible version on your Xbox Series S console.

You won't be able to play with each other if you are using the Xbox Series X/S version.

Hi WIlly,

I think I've figured it out.

There isn't separate Xbox Series X|S versions of Storey Mode and Online. The enhanced version is all in GTA Online.

This stumped me as I had no intention of playing GTA Online so chose to download it last but GTA V kept showing as normal version.

If you download GTA Online you can access the X|S story mode from there

Hi,

If your friend has the Series X|S version of the game then I'm afraid they can not play other users who only have the Xbox One version of the game. In order to play together, your friend will need own the Xbox One version GTA V or GTA Online for the Xbox One.

How is the xbox one boring?

The xbox one version of GTA V Online has more going on,better visuals etc & is a far better experience than the 360 version.

The xbox 360 is an old console now & with the Series X/S & PS5 versions of GTA V coming out there's no point in keeping the old & outdated 360 version going.

As the others have mentioned,it's not cost effective.

If you want to carry on playing GTA V online then you'll either need a xbox one or a series x/s.
