How to Copy GTA V Steam Files to Epic Games
- Make a GTA V backup on Steam.
- Start downloading GTA V from Epic Games let it create the folders, for like 1-2mins.
- Stop the download.
- Copy GTA 5 Files from the Steam library.
- Open the location where you were downloading GTA V from Epic Games.
- Paste it there, don’t replace “egstore”.
- Open Epic Games Library.
- From there and only there, resume the download.
- It will verify all the files and do some extra download, but it will be less than 1gb, better than downloading the whole 94 GB Game.
If you have SSD, the process will be done within 3-4mins. Otherwise, it might take more than 10 mins but worth it isn’t it?
Also, calm down guys! you are going to take down the Internet if you kept visiting Epic Games, it is not going anywhere till 21st May, you can download it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Their servers cannot handle this much spike in the traffic. Even youtube was down for a while today.

when we do that, can i also still play gta 5 on steam?
Yes
Thank you!! This worked for me.
it shows no sign of verifying the game file, and start resuming the download.
is it supposed to be like that? or?
How much size is it showing?
190mb out of 93 gb
Well then, congratulations it is done 🙂 let it download 190mb.
i think u got it in the wrong way, it says download (now) 400mb of 93 gb. it keeps increasing. i think im downloading all of it normally?
Oh sorry , My bad you must have missed a step.
Did you replace all the files?
Also you need to resume it from library not from main screen
i did not replace any of the files. because when i stop the download from epic games, the GTA V folder only have egstore file inside it. so i jst paste the backup game file there
You didnt let it download then atleast 200-300mb required.
Then you need to paste the backup game file
i do resume it from the library
ah i only wait for like 1 to 2 minute as instructed. btw where should i paste the backup game file? inside egstore? or on the same page with egstore?
Same page with egstore. Don’t paste anything inside egstore.
can i ask how big your egstore file size for gta v?
I am doing the same exact thing with my pirated gta V, copying it to epic games, my egstore is 535mb.
this time i stop the download at 500 mb and then paste the backup file, but still the same thing happened 🙁
now at 58 mb of 93 gb
Tell me are you copying from steam or trying to copy the pirated one? If its pirated it needs to be fitgirl repack.
Also if you are copying from steam. It should be fully updated the size should be around 90gb
from steam i guess? i use the backup a game feature from steam. in terms of updated, it was played this morning so i guess it was updated. but the backup file is only 87gb
Yeah it should be close to that btw why are you copying the backup you need to copy the game library lol the whole folder files.
Steam and Epic Games are two different platforms.
If you got instagram contact me : d_masab. Will guide you.
ahh from the common folder?
can i do this through rockstar launcher files?
Excuse me, does the gta steam version play together epicgame ver .?
Yes.
I keep getting
“Script Hook V Critical Eror”
Fatal:”unknown game version,check…….

I think you have the wrong version of gta V or modded one.
Hey, thanks for the guide. I did own the game presently but after the offer is finished if i had opened GTA V from Epic Games, will it give me 1,000,000$ Premium GTA Money?
Yes it will because different account mate. You got premium one now.

It will be in Epic Games/GTAV
so how to fix this thing is it impossible cause i jusst copied the file from my friend
i tried this but it still says that there are 94 gb left
From where are you trying to copy?
hi,
you said The answer is yes you can, get the 1,000,000$ cash on your normal purchased GTA V.
but how can i do that?
i think these steps for copying the game,
i have the game from steam and i want the 1000000 on the steam account
please help me
You will automatically get it.
im using pirated fitgirl repack will it work?
Only fitgirl repack works lol.
When you said copy the GTA V files from the steam library, did you mean the back up that I just created or the main GTA V files?
Gta V files
How to play gta V on steam and epic with only one copy of files?
will the game progress sync with both luncher ?
i have cracked game files
can it work with that too?
Only if its a fitgirl repack.
You missed one important instruction that is to start the download from epic games launcher, pause it and FULLY EXIT THE EPIC GAMES LAUNCHER from taskbar as well. After that pasting the files in the folder that was created and starting epic games launcher again going to the library and resuming the download makes epic games launcher start verifying the files and that is it. You have not mentioned you need to fully exit the launcher and so when I followed your instructions it didn’t seem to start verifying.
Sorry i still have Question,, GTA V originally had 94 Gigs in size.. in this particular step you copied the GTA Files to the Epic games folder… which mean we have to double the amount of size to play on epic games?? 188 Gigs?
You have to replace it lol
What about non steam games?
Same method. If its fitgirl repack
Also easy way to do it is to start downloading it from Epic, but in “steamapps/common” folder. Just step before GTA V folder from steam. EGL will create “GTAV” folder. Let it download 200-300 MB of data as instructed then exit completly from Epic Games Launcher. In steamapps/common folder go to GTAV (this is the one Epic created) and copy .egstore into your normal steam game folder; should be called “Grand Theft Auto V”. Then rename both folders the one from EG into something else, and the one with full game and .egstore file into “GTAV”. then just open EGL and it should do the rest. In steam it just matter of updating paths to game folders.
Thank you!
can we do it with short cuts?
Which one?
May be he is saying 190mb downloaded from 93gb
Can I do it vice versa? From epic games to steam?
Thank you so much…
