With that said, we’ll be taking a look at how to fix the Grand Theft Auto Online save migration error.

Grand Theft Auto Online Save Migration Error

If you are reading this guide, chances are that you are seeing this error. There are a few reasons as to why you might be facing this issue. Some of the most common issues are:

  • Your GTA Online profile is banned or suspended and is not eligible for migration
  • The GTA Online profile has already been migrated
  • Illegitimate progress was detected on the GTA Online profile
  • There is insufficient progress on the GTAO Online profile

To save yourself from this trouble, make sure that your account isn’t suspended or banned in the current version of GTA Online. Plus, we highly advise against transferring accounts that have used exploits or hacks to progress. While it is not clear yet, players that have used various glitches present in the game should not be affected by this. However, if you have used any third-party app, you will not be able to transfer your account as Rockstar Games is doing a thorough check of every account to ensure a balanced environment.

In case you have used exploits in your previous account, you will have to create a new one for the next-gen versions of GTA Online. You can, however, continue using your account on the current-gen edition of the game.


That’s everything you need to know about how to fix the save migration error in Grand Theft Auto Online. Let us know if you managed to fix this issue or are still stuck on it. We would love to hear your thoughts about the next-gen version of Grand Theft Auto 5 and Online.
