How to Upgrade to Next-Gen Version

PS4 to PS5 Upgrade

If you want to upgrade your PS4 copy to a PS5 version, you'll have to download and install the PS5 version, which should appear in your library whether you have a digital or disc version.

If you have a save file in your PS4 version that you want to transfer, you'll have to export your save file to the cloud, then import and load it in your PS5 version. Once you have installed the PS5 version, feel free to uninstall the PS4 version from your console.

Note that if you own the disc version of Cyberpunk 2077, you will need to insert the Cyberpunk 2077 Play Disc for PS4 into your PS5 console whenever you want to play the next-gen version.
