Finally, CD Projekt Red also shared some information regarding the cross-save system on Cyberpunk 2077. Players on PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One X will be able to carry on to the next-gen. The company also shared the steps that the players need to take to ensure that they can transfer the saves to PS5 or Xbox Series X and Series S. Looking at the steps, PlayStation 4 users can either connect to PlayStation Plus account and upload the saves, transfer the data over a LAN cable or Wi-Fi, or use external storage to move the saves.

Xbox users don’t need to take any manual steps as Smart Delivery will take care of things. Though, users do need to ensure that they have connected to the internet so that the system uploads the saved games to the cloud. Otherwise, they can use the “System network transfer” option to transfer data to the Xbox Series X or Series S from Xbox One over the same network.
