How to Transfer Your Cyberpunk 2077 Save to a New PC
Last verified: 2026-09-07
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077
Copy the whole 'Cyberpunk 2077' folder under Saved Games\CD Projekt Red — each save is its own subfolder.
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Cyberpunk 2077 save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Cyberpunk2077-save-backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1
/E mirrors the whole save tree (every profile sub-folder and slot) to a backup folder on your Desktop without touching the originals. Copy that folder to the new PC, then restore by swapping the source and destination paths.
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Cyberpunk 2077 save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.

How to transfer your Cyberpunk 2077 save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Select everything in that folder and copy it to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Cyberpunk 2077 on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077) and paste the copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Sometimes. GOG Galaxy and Steam both offer cloud saves for Cyberpunk 2077. If enabled on both machines with the same account, saves sync automatically; otherwise copy the folder manually.
Common mistakes
- Copying one save subfolder instead of the whole game folder.
- Mixing GOG and Steam cloud saves, which can cause conflicts.
