CD Projekt Red has confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 is temporarily disabling cloud uploads of autosaves for its open world sci-fi action game due to the impending release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt next-gen update. Cyberpunk 2077 has been out for a couple of years now, and while the game had an extremely rocky launch, public opinion on the CD Projekt Red game has improved considerably in recent months.Cyberpunk 2077 launch problems are well-documented, with the game launching in a poor enough state to cause CD Projekt Red to offer refunds. However, the launch of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series and important updates from the development team have helped turn things around for Cyberpunk 2077. Many who were once angry about Cyberpunk 2077 are now optimistic about the game's future.Anyone still playing Cyberpunk 2077 today will want to keep in mind that CD Projekt Red is disabling cloud upload for autosaves starting December 13 at 12pm CET. CD Projekt Red explained that this is a precaution related to The Witcher 3 next-gen update and the likely increase in traffic that the company's servers will experience at the time. A timetable for when Cyberpunk 2077 cloud upload for autosaves would come back has not been given, but it's hard to imagine that the feature will be unavailable for any serious length of time.
Cyberpunk 2077 players can continue saving their game in other ways while they wait for cloud upload for autosaves to come back online. There are still many who play Cyberpunk 2077 regularly and may be taking advantage of that functionality, so they will be happy whenever it's restored. Others still may be discovering Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time, finally giving the game a shot because of the updates and success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Others still may be returning to Cyberpunk 2077 to prepare themselves for the DLC. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is a paid expansion coming to the open world game next year. Not a lot has been revealed about the DLC so far, but it will let players explore new areas and meet new characters, including one that is played by celebrated actor Idris Elba.
Those that have yet to dive in to Cyberpunk 2077 for themselves may want to hold off until next year. Not only is Cyberpunk 2077 getting the Phantom Liberty DLC expansion, but the game will also apparently have a Game of the Year Edition at some point that will presumably collect the base game and the DLC. More specific details on that, including its potential price point, have not been revealed at the time of this writing.
Cyberpunk 2077 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
