The much-awaited next-gen update for GTA V is finally coming out, after a long wait. Rockstar has announced that players can now upgrade to the next generation consoles, such as Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 from their previous generation PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. This is one of the major updates that Rockstar has brought to this game within the past decade.
However, a piece of disappointing news has surfaced which states that all of the saved data will be wiped out from your previous-gen console when transferring to the next-gen one.
Transferring your character to PS5/Xbox Series X/S will remove all your character data on your PS4/Xbox One.#GTAOnline

GTA V next-gen: fans are furious with the bizarre feature that wipes saved data
Fans are very much furious with the fact that their saved data could be wiped out from the consoles due to this new upgrade. They have expressed their disappointment about the same on Twitter. Let’s have a look at what the players have to say.
They have made a very valid point here!
this is absolute fucking bullshit, now they're making me decide if I want to play the next gen experience or continue playing with my friends that still have PS4.

Same problem as many other individuals looking to get this upgrade.
That’s fucking stupid. My friends are still on previous gen so now I have to use a blank fucking slate?

Another user points out how this was never the case for upgrades from Xbox 360 and PS3.
Nope I still have access to my 360 character after transfer. When the servers were still up

How long do we have until they remove account transferring? I still need to get a PS5 and I don't want my level 650 character and money to go to waste because I didn't transfer it in time.

A perfect meme to sum up how much Rockstar loves to mess things up for their fans.
