Gta 5 account from epic to steam

[LoneWolf]

I have previously played from my friend epic account, now i have purchased gta 5 from steam. how can i play the game without downloading again??

Find the epic games installed folder for gta5. Copy (if you have space), or cut (if no space)-
And paste them into -

steam / steamapps / common / grand theft auto v
(usually in program files or something but you may have put it elsewhere~)
If this folder does not exist - make it.
If you would prefer using an existing steamlibrary.. use
steamlibrary / steamapps / common / grand theft auto v

Then go to this link -

Grab the appmanifest_271590.acf file.
-----Then close steam - entirely, so it is closed. It needs to be closed.----
Paste it into steam/steamapps -
or steamlibrary/steamapps if you use that.
Start steam - it 'should' - see the game as installed.
I would then rightclick gtav in steam, properties, installed files, verify game files to be sure.

edit - oh look I already had a thread -.-

Says retail, same concept - just use the EGS files instead.

(no matter) which ver of gta you use (epic or steam) on my own system it UPDATES the gta 5 files 'from one to the other............'
