CDP Rescues Cyberpunk 2077 Players From Stadia; Save Game Transfer Possible
Google Stadia is about to sink, but users of the service can save their progress in Cyberpunk 2077 and continue playing on PC and consoles.
Death of the "traditional gaming slayer", also known as Google Stadia, has not pleased the gamers, who have lost many hours in the titles available on this service. Fortunately some publishers are willing to let them escape the platform with all their virtual possessions.
CD Projekt RED has also shown itself, informing players of the possibility of transferring progress in Cyberpunk 2077 from Google Stadia to PC and consoles. Details were discussed in a thread on the official support website of the Polish developer.
Cyberpunk 2077 and Google Stadia - how to transfer save game data to PC?
The Google Takeout data transfer tool should be used for the transfer. You can find it at this address.
- After launching the app, in the "Select downloadable data" section, we click on "Select downloadable data" and select the "Stadia" option.
- Then we go to the "Select file type, frequency and target location" section to choose a location to download the data.
- We select the options "Export once" and ".zip" and "2 GB" as the file type and size, then click on the "Create export" button.
- After downloading the archive, unzip it to "XTakeout\Stadia\GAMING\GAME_SAVE" (where "X" is the folder into which we extracted the contents of the zip file) and search for the save files of Cyberpunk 2077 in the form of archives.
- We extract each save file to a separate folder, and then move them to the location "Y\Saved Games\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077" (where "Y" is the system user folder by the game).
Cyberpunk 2077 from Stadia to consoles
The save files can also be transferred to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 consoles - provided you have a PC copy of Cyberpunk 2077. Here all you need to do is enable the cross-platform feature.
- We launch the game on PC.
- We log into our REDlauncher account and make sure we have cross-platform save files enabled in the settings.
- Then we load the save game downloaded from Google Stadia and save the game on new platform.
After following the above steps, the save files should be available on consoles after logging into the same GOG account.
