Online not possible
Playing GTA Online is completely impossible due to lack of Battleye support
Does not work.
Tried multiple Proton versions, and command line settings. Rockstar launcher starts, but just displays the loading animation for a while before it gives up.
Singleplayer works perfectly. Online does not work at all since Rockstart did not enable Linux support of BattlEye anti-cheat.

Great performance even when enabling ray-tracing. Averaging 90 FPS in 1440p with "Maximum RT" (FSR 3 - Quality) preset.
One oddity I noticed is that when I look back (C key by default) the game hangs for a few frames. A huge dip in framerate (below 50 FPS) also occurs when moving the camera around very quickly. I tried different graphics settings and concluded that this only happens when ray-tracing is enabled. Still, I think it won't happen in a casual playthrough much.
Singleplayer works perfectly. Even getting great performance while enabling ray-tracing on AMD. Online does not work, though.
-nobattleye
Rockstar did not enable Linux support of BattlEye, sadly. So, no GTA Online.

If you want to use mods like me, for example NaturalVision Enhanced with SimpleTrainer, use this launch settings!
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b;socialclub=n,b;version=n,b;xinput1_4=n,b;" %command% -nobattleye -noBE
I was able to successfully launch the game and use the same mods I was using on Windows.
Buying weapons/ammunition is an important part of the game which makes game sessions too short.

Freezes randomly (but often) when in ammunation. Usually after selecting and adding ammo for a rifle.
What does work, does look very good and is very smooth. But the ammunation problem is a show-stopper. I also have no doubt there are other actions that would also cause a complete freeze too.
installed the game on heroic games launcher whenever i pressed play it would just send me to the rockstar launcher and dident work
just dosent work
Game runs perfectly and you could probably do a whole playthrough but the audio playing mainly through the left is just to annoying for me.
-onSteamDeck
Audio mainly playing through left ear no clue how to fix, probable cause is the dolby atmos not working on linux.
Perfect game would it not be for the horrendous audio causing me to not want to play.
Unable to get past Rockstar Launcher
I press play inside heroic and it opens the Rockstar Launcher but then it only shows me the purchase page for the game. I use the scan function to look for the game and it just tells me that no games were found, even after use Wine cfg to add the games as a dedicated drive.
So as it is I can only look at the store page inside the Rockstar Launcher.
Performance is great better then windows but i'm experiencing a spacial audio bug, all the sound appart from the radio come from the left
-nobattleye
spacial audio bugged, footsteps, car sound and speech always come from the left
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
Vram usage 1440p ultra high rt 7GB
Spacial audio is only in left side of headphones/speakers
Online also doesn't work due to Cockstar not enabling Battleye Linux support
Only just started playing but so far seems solid as a rock at 4k 60hz and all the RT turned to Very High.

Runs better than windows, vram usage at 1440p almost ultra high rt is about 7GB

Spacial Audio is buged, footsteps and cars sounds come from the left, the radio is fine
Doesn't work under wayland with PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 the launcher gives an error
The game Runs Great, better than windows, Vram usage with almost all ultra and high ray tracing at 1440p it's about 7.5GB
Make sure you add those arguments, works pretty well after that. Online doesn't work though

framerate drops while moving mouse rapidly with RT on
I've noticed that I drop frames with RT on, if I'm pressing the button to look behind the character or if I'm moving the mouse camera a lot.

I have stereo, but audio output is working with 11 (!) channels. I have no idea how to fix this.
Game works flawlessly, just no way how to play multiplayer and my personal audio issue.

Kicked from online by battleye
Only single player is avilable to play due to battleye.

Instantly kicked by BattlEye upon joining online session (including Invite-Only sessions)
Installed game via the Rockstar laucher without issues.
Singleplayer only worked with Proton 10.0 (1747306081 experimental-10.0-20250515). Trying to start game with Proton 9.0 failed with error "Failed to initialize DirectX 12 adapter (ERR_GFX_D3D_NOD3D12)".
Multiplayer does not work, not even in Invite Only sessions. Got instantly kicked by BattlEye. Migrating GTA Online account from Legacy to Enhanced worked fine, though.

Launches but freezes immidately
-nobattleye
I can launch the game and get to the initial intro screen but it freezes almost immidately. Nothing I try seems to fix it.
Limit fps to 45, TDP 10w, lowest settings
45 fps avg mininal dips. If you don't enable TDP the game will still draw 20w
Blurry/out of focus cutscenes, can be fixed by lowering the Post FX setting under Graphics
No anti-cheat support, you'll get kicked by BattlEye within seconds
It's fine as long as you don't want to play online.
I got to the point of installing the game, but in the first loading screen it froze and exited the game.
I tried different proton versions (9.0-4, 10.0-1 (beta) and proton hotfix) but none worked
Singleplayer runs great, same or slightly better performance than on Windows. No multiplayer due to lack of anticheat
Setting "Post FX" to Very High resulted in all of the cutscenes in the game looking blurry, like the camera is out of focus. Setting to High or lower has fixed the issue
Runs perfectly! Only issue is depth of field (at least when running through Proton Hotfix)
Depth of field is completely bugged if those post effects are enabled above "high." If I disable in game DoF, it doesn't do anything.
Many cutscenes look god awful, and I have yet to find a fix. I'm going to play around with it for a little bit.
Online probably does not work since it uses an anti-cheat, and that doesn't play well with linux.

Blurry cutscenes
After the installation, it ran first time smoothly with the GE-Proton9-26. But from the next attempts it showed the message "Game is not installed properly. Maybe try reinstalling". Tried to follow other contributors suggestions. Changed to Proton hotfix, Proton experimental etc. Also deleted and reinstalled the Rockstar social folders in the installed location (by verifying game files integrity). But nothing worked. Then from a forum I was directed to a github page, where it said to run the steam version of the game using GE-Proton9-27. Did that and voila! Game ran smoothly.
But there are still 2 problems,
- Game cutscenes are very blurry
- Online mode does not even launch due to the battleye issue.
If the game ran fine and you can make peace with these 2 issues, you will have a good time playing this game on linux.
