How to quick emote in GTA 5 PS4

Online games are all about interacting with other people and GTA Online, the massive multiplayer add-on that comes with GTA 5, is no different, as players can do heists together, race, even killing each other if they want, but those actions are always more fun to do if there are emotes to pull off, especially if they’re well animated.

Thankfully, you will be able to do that in GTA Online, since it’s one of those textbook things that are needed in a multiplayer title like this, so emotes were expected and you can do them if you want, though you might forget when you consider how many things players are able to do in this game.

How To Emote In GTA Online

Sadly, while GTA Online is a pretty great game, it doesn’t immediately explain certain things that are considered basic options, like using the Quick Menu.

Most players use the Quick Menu for the Quick GPS, which helps players navigate to their next location, but it can also be used to do other things, like emote.

Granted, emoting in GTA Online isn’t the most important thing in the world, but it’s still a fairly fun feature to do.

All players have to do is go to Quick Menu, go to ‘Style,’ select ‘Action,’ which will be your default emote action.

For those that aren’t a fan of the default emote, players can change them in ‘Inventory,’ which is another action in the Quick Menu so don’t worry.

You can play GTA Online by buying GTA 5 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, though the online-only portion will soon be sold by itself.

Fortnite might have popularised emotes in modern video games, but GTA Online, which has been around for nearly a decade, has had emotes in some form or another ever since it first launched.

Admittedly, in GTA Online, these are not called emotes, but rather ‘character actions’, and whilst there are nowhere near as many as many contemporary games like Fortnite or Apex Legends it does steadily add more with every major update.

For everything, you need to know about emotes, including how to use them in GTA Online, read on.

How To Select Emotes In GTA Online

To select your chosen emote in GTA Online, just follow the step-by-step guide just below:

1. Open the GTA Online interaction menu. You can access this menu by pressing M on PC, holding down the touch pad on PS4 and PS5, and holding the View button on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. hold back button on console/M on PC
2. Scroll down the menu and select ‘Style’
3. In the Style menu, scroll down to ‘Action’ and here is where you can select the emote you want stored as your quickplay action

How To Use Emotes In GTA Online

To use your chosen emote in GTA Online, just follow the step-by-step guide just below:

1. To emote, you need to press the quickplay action button.
2. On PC the quickplay action button is the cap lock key, whilst on PlayStation and Xbox consoles you press the L3+R3 thumbsticks to perform a quickplay action.
