Cyberpunk 2077 has become infamous for its bugs on PlayStation and Xbox, but one of the more significant issues is actually exclusive to the PC version. Users that purchase the game on PC via Steam, GoG, or the Epic Games Store will encounter a game-breaking glitch if their save file size exceeds 8MB. So, here’s how to check Cyberpunk 2077 save file size and avoid encountering the corrupted save bug.
How to check your Cyberpunk save file size on PC
Players that craft and loot a lot of items can quickly inflate their Cyberpunk saved data file size. As a result, being able to check how much memory a save file uses is key to preempting and avoiding the 8MB glitch.
Here’s how to check Cyberpunk save file size:
- Type “This PC” into the Windows search bar and open the app.
- Under “Devices and drivers,” open the local (C:) drive.
- Open the “Users” folder.
- Select the relevant username.
- Open up the “Saved Games” folder.
- Select “CD Projekt RED” from the list.
- Choose the “Cyberpunk 2077” option.
After following the above steps, players can see their current Cyberpunk 2077 save sizes on PC. Manual saves, autosaves, and quicksaves are all represented alongside their corresponding file sizes.
Cyberpunk 2077 save file size bug fix
The Cyberpunk save file size bug fix is to avoid crafting and looting too many items. According to CDPR, the developer “might” fix the Cyberpunk 2077 8MB save file glitch in a future game update. Users with damaged saves that can not be loaded won’t be able to recover them, however, so must revert to an earlier save point and avoid acquiring new items wherever possible.
Although rerolling loot is tempting, it also might be best to avoid the practice on PC. Instead of manipulating loot to fit the user’s needs, it’s a good idea to simply pass up on all but necessary items as a standard practice.
