Alright, so the other day I was playing Cyberpunk 2077, really getting into it, and then BAM! My game crashed. Lost a good chunk of progress. Super frustrating, right? So, I decided I needed to figure out this whole save file situation, make sure I had backups, and generally know where the heck my game was storing all this stuff.
Digging Around for the Save Files
First thing I did was poke around in the obvious places. You know, like the “My Documents” folder, that kind of thing. Nothing. Then I checked the game’s installation directory. Still no luck. Seemed like these save files were hiding somewhere sneaky.
So, I hit up the internet. Turns out, a lot of people have had the same question. After a bit of searching, I found the answer.
Finding the “carpeta save” (Save Folder)
The save files for Cyberpunk 2077, at least on my PC, weren’t in any of the usual spots. They were tucked away in a folder under my user profile.
Here’s the path I followed, step-by-step:
- Opened up File Explorer.
- Clicked on “This PC”.
- Went into my main hard drive (usually the “C:” drive).
- Opened the “Users” folder.
- Found my username folder and opened that.
- Opened a folder named “Saved Games”. It was right there.
- Then went in “CD Projekt Red”, and “Cyberpunk 2077” folder! Bingo.
Inside that “Cyberpunk 2077” folder, there they were! All my precious save files. It’s like a hidden treasure chest, I tell ya.
Making Backups (Because I’m Not Losing Progress Again!)
Now that I knew where the save files lived, the next thing I did was make backups. I’m not taking any chances after that crash.
What I did was pretty simple: I just copied that entire “Cyberpunk 2077” folder from the “Saved Games” location and pasted it onto my external hard drive. Boom. Instant backup.
Now, I can rest easy knowing that even if my game decides to freak out again, I’ve got a copy of my progress safe and sound. It’s like having an extra life in real life, but for my gaming.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure in finding the Cyberpunk 2077 save files and making sure I don’t lose any more precious game time. Hope this helps someone else out there avoid the same frustration I went through!
