Some players ask how to add GTA 5 to Steam after purchasing the game in Rockstar Games Launcher. They want to be able to run it not only from the Launcher but also from Steam.

Though this could be a nice option, right now there is no way to do it. If you but the game from the launcher you will have to run it from the launcher only. You can’t open it from Steam just because Steam service is provided by a different company.
When you purchase Grand Theft Auto from Steam all the money you pay goes to the Valve company directly. But when you buy it from the Launcher, your money goes to Rockstar Games and Valve doesn’t get a single penny. Why would Valve allow you to benefit from their service if you have already paid to another company? Valve provides customer support and other features. So you have to buy the game from Steam in order to be able to use it there.
But, fortunately, there is a solution. The only way to add GTA 5 to Steam in this case is to request a refund from Rockstar, receive money and buy the game from Steam. Thus you will have it in your Steam games library and will be able to play it again. It may take time, but finally, you will get what you want. Just don’t forget that Rockstar Games may reject your refund request.

Getting (Un)Stuck on Steam Overlay
Steam Gta 5 Online
Many GTA 5 PC players report being stuck in a loop where they're unsure if their accounts actually linked to Social Club or note (there isn't really any feedback letting you know if you're successful or not).
Social Club actually opens the Steam overlay in some cases, covering an 'OK' button on the bottom right-hand side. If you close the Steam overlay with the SHIFT+TAB combination, you should be able to see the button and link the accounts!
After Linking Your Accounts to Social Club

After you successfully link your Steam and Social Club accounts, you may receive an error because Social Club fails to boot. In this case, Rockstar suggests uninstalling the Social Club program and manually reinstalling it from this support page.
Always ensure your Steam cache is verified as well. Right-click the game in your Steam library and click 'Properties'. Then you'll want to click the 'Local' files tab. And then you'll click 'Verify integrity of Game Cache'. If you need to manually add GTA 5 to Steam, click here.
