Cyberpunk 2077 Co-Op Progression & Save Sharing
No, Cyberpunk 2077 does not have co-op multiplayer or co-op progression. Save files are single-player only, and there is no cross-platform save sharing or cross-progression between different platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox). The game is a single-player RPG, and all progression is tied to one local save file on the device you play on.
Background: Why There Is No Co-Op
Cyberpunk 2077 was designed and developed as a single-player narrative experience by CD Projekt Red. The game’s story, quests, and world are built around V’s personal journey, with choices and consequences that affect a single character. While many fans have requested co-op, the developers have consistently stated that the game is not designed for multiplayer and that adding it would require a fundamental rebuild of the game’s systems. The engine and quest structure are not built to handle multiple player characters in the same world, and the game’s performance on last-gen consoles already struggled with just one player.
How Save Files Work in Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 uses a traditional single-player save system. When you save your game, it writes a file to your local storage (or cloud storage if you’re using a platform’s cloud save feature). The save file contains your character’s level, attributes, perks, inventory, quest progress, and world state. There is no way to share that save file with another player to play together, and there is no official tool to merge or sync saves between players.
- PC: Saves are stored in Documents\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077\save games (or a similar path depending on your installation).
- PlayStation: Saves are stored on the console or in PlayStation Plus cloud storage.
- Xbox: Saves are stored on the console or in Xbox Cloud Saves.
Cross-Platform Save Sharing: Does It Exist?
No. Cyberpunk 2077 does not support cross-platform save sharing or cross-progression. If you play on PC and then buy the game on PlayStation, you cannot transfer your save file to the PlayStation version. Each platform has its own separate save system, and CD Projekt Red has not implemented any official transfer tool. This means that if you switch platforms, you must start a new game from scratch.
How to Transfer Saves Manually (PC Only)
While there is no official cross-platform transfer, you can manually copy save files between PC installations, for example from one computer to another. This works only if both are running the same version of the game and the same operating system (Windows). Here’s how:
- Locate your save folder: Documents\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077\save games.
- Copy the entire folder (or individual save files) to a USB drive or cloud storage.
- On the new PC, navigate to the same folder path and paste the files.
- Launch the game and load the save from the “Load Game� menu.
Note that this does not work between PC and consoles. Console save files are encrypted and locked to the console’s user account.
Common Problems and Misconceptions
Many players search for co-op because they see mods or videos claiming to add multiplayer. While there are mods that allow limited co-op experiences (for example, the “Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer� mod by Nexus Mods), these are unofficial, unstable, and not supported by CD Projekt Red. They do not offer true co-op progression; they simply sync some game state between two players, but quests and story events are not fully synchronized. Another misconception is that the Phantom Liberty expansion adds co-op—it does not. The expansion is single-player only.
Comparison with Other CD Projekt Red Games
CD Projekt Red’s other major title, The Witcher 3, also has no co-op or cross-progression. However, The Witcher 3 does have a cross-save feature between PC and Nintendo Switch (and later between PC and PS5/Xbox Series X|S) via a GOG account. This is not the case for Cyberpunk 2077. The difference is that The Witcher 3 was updated to support cross-save in 2022, but Cyberpunk 2077 has not received any such feature.
Future Possibilities
As of early 2025, CD Projekt Red has not announced any plans to add co-op or cross-progression to Cyberpunk 2077. The team has moved on to other projects, including the next Witcher game and a Cyberpunk sequel (codenamed “Project Orion�). It is possible that the sequel may include multiplayer elements, but nothing has been confirmed. For the current game, the answer remains: no co-op, no cross-progression.
