Some players are reporting that their cyberpunk 2077 save files are becoming corrupted if they exceed a certain file size. Creators CD Projekt red has already released two hotfixes to try and shore up some of the problems.

If your cyberpunk 2077 save is corrupted, you’ll apparently see the prompt when you try and load up the game.’saved data is damaged and can not be loaded’.

There are also multiple people on CD Projekt red’s forums reporting that their 8mb+ save files are corrupted. Crossing that 8MB threshold is when the save file corrupted for one Redditor.

To avoid seeing the prompt, the company recommends using an older save and to’keep a lower amount of items and crafting materials’.

If your cyberpunk 2077 save file is larger than 8MB, you’ve invested dozens of hours into the game. If you had a corrupted save in part because I picked up too much stuff, I would be extremely disappointed.

If you are experiencing corrupted saves, a moderator on CD Projekt red’s official cyberpunk 2077 forums has offered some suggestions on how to load backup saves.
