Cyberpunk 2077 will feature cross-generation saving on consoles

As the release date of Cyberpunk 2077 gets closer almost every detail about the features in the game is being revealed. We know about the detailed system requirements to play the game on PC, we have seen new videos showing more about the game, we have learned tha the post-launch content for Cyberpunk 2077 is already in the works, and plenty of additional information about the upcoming action RPG is available. But even like that, CD Projekt Red has more surprises in storage for us.

If you are eagerly waiting for the release of Cyberpunk 2077 but you don't have a next-gen console yet, you won't have to worry about losing your saved games if you plan on playing the game on consoles. You can start playing the game on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One and migrate your saved games on your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S respectively. So, even if you are still waiting for the delivery of your brand new console or you are planning on buing ot later, you will be able to play it on your old console without losing any progress. Of course, you may prefer to start your adventure from the beginning to enjoy the enhanced grahics on the new generation of consoles, but not having to lose your progress when you switch is definitely a bonus.

You need to remember that if you play Cyberpunk 2077 at launch on your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S you will be playing the same version of the game via backward compatibility. The version specifically designed to take advantage of the capabilities of the new consoles won't arrive until 2021. Even if the graphic quality is still better at launch on the new consoles, it's not as good as it's going to be later.

External storage, local-area network, and upload to the cloud will be the three options avaiilable to transfer your Cyberpunk 2077 saves from one system to another.
