Cyberpunk 2077 is only allowing about 12 save slots.

Jump to Best Response

In Cyberpunk on Stadia, I am only getting about 12 save slots before it starts erasing (deleting) older saves. The game typically Autosaves about every 2 or 3 minutes depending on what you are doing so saves from about an hour ago are already being permanently deleted. Not good. This will make it almost impossible for 2 people in our family to play the game with their own characters because after about an hour (or less) of gameplay all of the older saves are gone and the other character's saves are all gone making the other player's character unretrievable. 

Is this some sort of limitation on only Stadia because I am aware it does not happen if playing directly on your own PC hardware. My understanding is that Cyberpunk PC has unlimited saves, so if you are playing for a week, older saves from a week ago are still somewhere at the bottom of a long list.

Anybody have an answer for this problem?

From my understanding is that if you start a new game it erases the old one.

But then again you can use Google Family with Stadia family sharing to share the game across your family members.

I don't see a other workaround.

Ofcourse you could always contact the CD Project Red to add a better save game solution.

Unfortunately for now I think we have to leave behind our Bethesda days and get used to having 2-3 saves per user outside of autosaves obviously. Currently the PS4 only allows 20 saves. I don't have to plug in a console or update so for me it's a good compromise for now but I would love to see up to 40 saves at least in the future. If I had family to play with I would want them to not worry about saving over my games.

Actually on Stadia, the game does not erase a pre-existing game when you start a new one. The older saves are still out there but after less than 30 mins of playtime it will have Autosaved about 20 times. With only 12 slots that means the older character is then gone. As a work-around I have to stop playing about every 15 mins and delete all the excess Autosaves in order to preserve an older save of a different character - so it is doable but its a pain and easy to make a mistake and poof your other character is gone forever. And BTW it deletes Autosaves and Manual Saves both in timeline order. 

These saves must be located on the Stadia servers (because its nowhere on my hard drive), which means that this is perhaps an arbitrary decision made by Google. This limitation does not exist on the PC version so I doubt that it is a limitation by the game maker. So as Cyberpunk gamers on Stadia we should be able to petition Google to give us more save slots please. 

GOOGLE PLEASE GIVE US MORE SAVE SLOTS - 50 MINIMUM PLEASE!

Like @RXShorty explained, Family Sharing is the what you should be using if you have multiple Stadia players in your house.  Everybody gets their own account and their own set of save slots for every game this way with nothing mixing.  Everybody in your family group will have access to games that were purchased or claimed on the other accounts.

For the record, I do think it is a bad that Cyberpunk autodeletes even manual saves, as I'm used to saving games like this at key points in case I want to or need to go back to a certain point in the game.  That being said, family sharing won't change that behavior but at least you don't need to worry about saves from different users getting mixed up.

So, while I can see the cap on autosave/quicksave, I don't see my manual saves being removed. I still have the first manual save I created back on launch day after playing for 11 minutes.

Mind you its not as fast to create a manual vs smacking F5, but still.

That said, family share for multiple peoples. Multiple manual saves for multiple characters. Don't rely on quick/auto for that.

Yeah, this sucks.

My nephew just overwrote my game.

Since when, in what game, on what platform ever, were you not allowed to have multiple characters?

I actually pay for two stadia accounts, one for me, and one for my nephew. I also got him a chromecast hd, and a stadia controller, so we could play together.

I just wanted him to try it, and now I have no game to go back to.

This points to a larger issue.

Family sharing. I can't add my nephew to my family, because of a stupid policy regarding family groups, that requires 12 months between leaving one and joining another.

Sadly when he setup his email, he accidentally setup his own family of one person. But even after deleting it, we have to wait. Mind you he lives with me half of the time, and I can't share games with him.

Again what platform ever has had this issue?

Moreover, stadia is not gmail, google seriously needs to stop making one reliant on the other. And let us set up families/sharing per service.

Actually, any solution would work.

1. Allow multiple characters.

2. Loose the 12 month waiting period.

3. Make families service specific.

Maybe this is all moot, as it looks more and more like stadia isn't going to be around much longer. With oversights like the ones noted above, I'm beginning to question if they should be.

I'm going to play something else on a different platform.

Thanks Google.

Just do a manual save and don't overwrite it
