Cyberpunk 2077 Removing Feature This Week

CD Projekt Red is removing a feature from Cyberpunk 2077 this week across all versions of the game, which is to say this impacts all players of the RPG across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. Thankfully, the feature in question is not essential to the experience nor does its removal hinder the game itself in any way, however, it’s a quality-of-life feature some players, especially those who worry about losing their saves, will miss.

Using the official CD Projekt Red Support Twitter account, the Polish developer relayed word that on December 13 — aka this Tuesday, aka tomorrow — cloud upload of autosave will be removed from the game. Manual saves will still be uploaded to the cloud, but autosaves will not. According to CD Projekt Red, “this is a precaution” for the release of The Witcher 3 next-gen update this week.

“Cloud upload of autosaves for Cyberpunk 2077 will be disabled starting December 13th, 12 PM CET. This is a precaution for The Witcher 3 next-gen update release and potential traffic,” reads the tweet in question. “Other save types will continue to be uploaded as usual. We’ll let you know once re-enabled.”

As you can see, this is a temporary removal, but right now no timeline has been provided on when it will be re-enabled. For all we know it could be next week or next month. 

Cyberpunk 2077 is available via PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. For more coverage on the best-selling open-world RPG, click here.

“Most of the Cyberpunk 2077 characters you’ll meet in Night City have different connections and perspectives on the setting, but they’ve all got one unifying point to stress: the possibilities of Night City are endless,” reads the opening of our review of the game. “Those possibilities draw people in and keep inhabitants entangled in the affairs of the city with everyone looking for their next big move, their next thing to do. Not everyone is as impressed with the city though and instead, say it’s just a city like any other and that people can find what they’re looking for elsewhere. As it turns out, Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot in common with its bustling, futuristic setting.”
