GTA Online is best played with friends, but what if you have a PS5 but your friends have a PS4? Can PS5 players play GTA Online with PS4 players?

Can PS5 gamers play GTA on-line with PS4 gamers?
The answer is no. If you purchased the GTA 5 Expanded & Enhanced (next-gen) model for the PS5, you cannot play with friends who have the original GTA 5 game on the PS4.
