Use the actual Cross Progression save path
CD PROJEKT RED says the latest Quick, Auto, Manual and other save types upload automatically when Cross Progression is enabled. Its steps use the Cross Progression control in Load Game, a CD PROJEKT RED account, and a newly created save; a cloud icon appears beside the uploaded save. The destination must connect to the same account.
- Update Cyberpunk 2077 on the source and destination platforms.
- Open Load Game and use the Cross Progression control; sign in to the intended CD PROJEKT RED account.
- Check Settings → Gameplay → Enable cross-platform Saves if the toggle was changed.
- Create a new source save and wait until the cloud icon appears beside it.
- On the destination, use My Rewards to connect the same CD PROJEKT RED account, then look for the cloud save in Load Game.

Compare Phantom Liberty content direction
The official support note describes an asymmetric content rule. A base-game save without Phantom Liberty can load in Ultimate Edition, but an Ultimate Edition save cannot load in an install without the expansion because required content would be missing. This is not a general store-ownership check: verify the actual target platform account and installed product.
| Source save | Destination install | Publisher-documented result |
|---|---|---|
| Base game; Phantom Liberty not installed | Ultimate Edition with base game + Phantom Liberty | Support says this direction works. |
| Ultimate Edition; Phantom Liberty content present | Base game without Phantom Liberty | Support says it cannot load because required content is missing. |
| Any direction, entitlement unclear | Any platform | Check that platform's own store/library; GamerWin cannot verify purchases. |

If the save used in-game mods
CD PROJEKT RED says Cross Progression requires the same set of mods enabled on both platforms. A missing or incompatible mod on the target may prevent the save from loading. The in-game mod.io menu is listed for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2; check each mod's Available on consoles tag rather than assuming that subscriptions imply compatibility.
- On the source, note which mods were enabled when the save was created; a save created while mods were enabled is marked with a mod.io cog.
- On the destination, check the Installed list and make sure the same compatible mods are present and enabled.
- For PC-to-console play, inspect each mod page for the Available on consoles tag.
- If a mod is missing or incompatible, do not overwrite your only copy of the target save while troubleshooting; preserve a separate manual/cloud save where the platform permits.
- Remember: CD PROJEKT RED says console achievements/trophies are disabled on modded save files.

Read the checker as a checklist, not an account test
The local preflight only reflects boxes you choose. It cannot authenticate the CD PROJEKT RED account, inspect the target DLC, read installed mods, confirm an upload or predict whether a particular save loads. If all boxes appear satisfied but a save is missing, compare the exact platforms, game versions, DLC and enabled mod names before contacting support.

Where to compare community reports
Steam Discussions are player-authored and may mix update 2.5, earlier patches, official in-game mods and third-party PC mods. Treat a post as a lead to verify against the official support articles, not as a confirmed fix. Avoid posting CD PROJEKT RED login details, purchase receipts, or unredacted save files.

Frequently asked questions
Can an Ultimate Edition save load in the base game without Phantom Liberty?
CD PROJEKT RED says no: required content would be missing. Its support note does say a base-game save can load in Ultimate Edition.
Do my mods need to match for Cross Progression?
For modded saves, CD PROJEKT RED says the same set must be enabled on both platforms; missing or incompatible mods may prevent loading.
Does this checker test my cloud save?
No. It only displays a checklist from your own selections and never connects to an account or reads a save.
