It’s Cyberpunk 2077 launch day! Gamers all around the world have begun exploring the world of Night City and taking in all of its sights. Some of us though (myself included) are still waiting for the game to finish downloading on Steam. There’s been a myriad of reports that the game has stopped downloading or is downloading very slowly on Steam, which may leave you puzzled as to why. No need to worry though as, in this guide, I’ll explain the exact reasons for both of these issues along with a fix for the former.
How to Fix Download Issues with Cyberpunk 2077
The first of these issues is the game not downloading entirely. Many users have reported that their Cyberpunk 2077 download is getting to 57.4GB out of 60.2GB, only for it to completely stop on Steam. Thankfully, the team at Steam have cleared up the issue and explained how to fix it. According to a Twitter thread from Steam, this is down to a display issue when downloading, as it’ll begin unpacking the encrypted data from your download. This doesn’t mean that the download has stopped, and you should instead wait. After a little while, the download will resume and you’ll soon be on your way to Night City.
Unfortunately, the second of these Cyberpunk 2077 issues are not fixable (at least right now). This issue is mostly in the download speed being either widely inconsistent or extremely low on Steam. This is simply down to the influx of people downloading the game right now, and nothing on your end. As such, you’ll sadly have to wait till more people have downloaded the game for the speeds to be back to normal. You can expect this fixed after a day or two at most, though it seems the speed is slowly increasing over time. Keep an eye on it and it should go up.
