If you begin Cyberpunk 2077 on either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you will be able to bring your save with you to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, respectively.Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red detailed the steps needed to ensure your saves will transfer with you to your next-gen console, and they vary slightly between the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Cyberpunk 2077 PS4-PS5 Cross-Save
As long as you are using the same PlayStation account, you will be able to pick up your game save on PS5 right where you’ve left on PS4.
There are three different options to transfer your saves, and they are as follows;
- Connect to your PlayStation Plus account and upload your saves
- Transfer your data via LAN cable or wireless connection (WiFi)
- Use a compatible storage device to copy and transfer your saves to the same PSN account on PlayStation 5.
Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One-Xbox Series X/S Cross-Save
It’s a bit easier on the Xbox side of things with cross-save, as Smart Delivery “allows you to continue playing the game on Xbox Series X/S from where you’ve left off on the Xbox One.”
As long as your are connected to the internet so your saved data can be uploaded to the cloud, your save will transfer seamlessly and will be ready when you start Cyberpunk 2077 on your new next-gen system.
If you need another option, you can also “connect both your Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S to the same network and use the system network transfer option.”
Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia on December 10, 2020. It will be playable on both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at launch as well, but the free, “more robust” next-gen versions won’t be ready until 2021.
