Crossplay is a feature that lets gamers on different platforms play together. This basically means that those on a console can play a crossplay-compatible title with those on a PC or a different console brand.

As mentioned, this feature is becoming quite common in modern video games and is even present in competitive multiplayer titles such as Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6. That said, GTA 5 Enhanced PC does not support crossplay, just like the original version (now known as GTA 5 Legacy).

In fact, the Enhanced version does not even support crossplay with Legacy, despite being on the same platform (PC). This means that GTA Online (Grand Theft Auto 5's multiplayer) players on the Enhanced version of the title cannot play with Legacy version users.
