“Unfortunately the save is corrupted and cannot be recovered.”
In the latest in a long litany of problems, reports are now coming in that Cyberpunk 2077 save files are getting permanently corrupted for gamers if they exceed 8MB in size.
Although it was initially reported to affect games on all platforms, some are now suggesting that it is just a PC issue. However, without confirmation from developer CD Projekt Red, players have been advised to “keep fewer items and crafting materials.”

In a response posted on the GOG website, CDPR has confirmed that once corrupted, there is no way to recover the save, so it recommends keeping “a smaller amount of crafting items and materials.”
“Unfortunately the save is corrupted and cannot be recovered. Please use an older save file to continue playing and try to keep fewer items and crafting materials,” the message read.
“If you have used the item duplication error, please upload an unaffected save file.”
The message closes by saying that while the save file size limit “might increase” in a future patch, the “corrupted files will stay that way.”
As we’ve reported in the weeks since Cyberpunk 2077’s release, CD Projekt’s stock plunged after reviews of the game suggested that Cyberpunk might not end up with a sky-high metascore. While the PC version of Cyberpunk has 87 Metacritic goals, the PS4 and Xbox One versions rank at 55. The user scores are 7.2, 3.2, and 4.4 respectively.
The heads of CD Projekt have told the staff that they will get their full bonuses despite the buggy launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Executives have reportedly been held accountable for the state of the game at launch.
CD Projekt has also come under fire for its use of crunch during the development of Cyberpunk. In September 2020, CD Projekt told employees that it would require them to work six days a week until the game’s release in November (it was later delayed until December), breaking a previous promise not to force mandatory overtime to finish the project.
