Those playing Cyberpunk 2077 should be aware that if their save files get above 8MB, they may become permanently corrupt and unusable, this can happen to you regardless of the platform you're playing on.
Redditor MagicTacoSauce posted a PSA alerting others to the issue, and GOG.com - which is owned by Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red - offered a response that is not overly promising.
"Unfortunately the save is damaged and can't be recovered," The statement reads. "Please use an older save file to continue playing and try to keep a lower amount of items and crafting materials. If you have used the item duplication glitch, please load a save file not affected by it. The save file size limit might be increased in one of the future patches, but the corrupted files will remain that way."
GOG.com saying that it "might be increased in future patches" may not be the best of news for those who love to collect everything and wish to craft a ton.
A comment from the Don:
Wow, what a messy situation we are watching unfold! Not even Anthem, Andromeda or Fallout 76 had this much publicity around their fuck ups, the positive is CDPR will get it right eventually and Internet Historian will make an amazing video from this.
Sucks though that in a "RPG" CDPR are now recommending users to stop engaging in the RPG elements of the game, on CDPR support forums they're telling users to start new saves once getting an ending to avoid running into this bug, what a shitshow! I must say though it hurts that CDPR keep fucking up as unlike the other three games I mentioned, Cyberpunk is an amazing title, it didn't deserve this kind of botched launch.

Cyberpunk 2077: Hotfix 1.06 Has Fixed the Save File Corruption Issue - IGN
Cyberpunk 2077's Hotfix 1.06 has removed the 8MB save file size limit that was causing certain save files to become permanently corrupt if they went over the limit. Unfortunately, it will not fix save files that were corrupted before the update.
