Make the source save visible before changing devices
CD PROJEKT RED says cross-progression uploads the latest save types after account sign-in, and a cloud symbol appears beside an uploaded save. The symbol is a practical checkpoint: if it is absent, troubleshoot the source platform before expecting the target device to find that copy.
| Check | Evidence to record | Safe next action |
|---|---|---|
| Game build | Version shown on the main menu | Update through the platform before creating the transfer save |
| Account | The same CD PROJEKT RED account on both devices | Stop if account identity is uncertain; do not relink by guess |
| Upload | Cloud icon beside the new save | Wait/check connection if the marker is missing |
| Target content | Edition, expansion and enabled mod set | Match required content before loading |
| Region | Source and target store/region | Check publisher's regional restriction page first |

Transfer with a reversible checkpoint
The publisher notes that a save made with Phantom Liberty installed can require that content on the target; a base-game save can load in the Ultimate Edition, but not necessarily the reverse. Its mod support guidance also says the same set must be enabled across devices; unsupported console mods may not appear there.
- On the source device, update the game and sign in to the CD PROJEKT RED account you intend to use on both platforms.
- Open Load Game, enable Cross Progression if needed, make a new manual save and wait until the cloud icon appears next to it.
- Record the save timestamp, source platform/region, edition, Phantom Liberty ownership and whether mods were active.
- On the target, use the same account and check that the matching game content and compatible mod set are available before loading.
- Select the cloud-marked save and verify the expected character/location; keep the original local save untouched until the target copy is confirmed.
- If the save does not appear or load, capture the exact version, platform pair and message; follow current publisher support rather than repeatedly unlinking accounts or overwriting saves.

Frequently asked questions
Does linking my account automatically prove the save uploaded?
No. CD PROJEKT RED's instructions identify a cloud icon beside the uploaded save; check for that marker.
Can every modded save transfer to console?
No. The publisher says the same mod set is needed and unsupported console mods may be ignored; console achievements/trophies are disabled on modded saves.
Does this worksheet connect to my game account?
No. It only formats details you type in this browser; it cannot inspect or transfer saves.
