Can you play gta online on ps5 with friends on ps4?

Grand Theft Auto Online was released for PlayStation 5 on 15 March 2022, while it had already been available on PlayStation 4 since 18 November 2014. The game’s online component is tied to each console’s platform, and the available documentation does not mention any cross‑play capability between the two systems. Consequently, friends on a PlayStation 5 cannot join a session hosted on a PlayStation 4 and vice versa. Players who wish to play together must be on the same console generation or use a platform that explicitly supports cross‑play, which is not the case for GTA Online on PlayStation.
