Hey chooms,
I’ve hit a really nasty progression bug in Cyberpunk 2077 and I’m honestly out of ideas at this point.
The quest “Play It Safe” simply will not trigger. Takemura never calls, which means the entire questline is stuck. I know this is a known bug, but none of the usual fixes seem to work for me.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
What makes it worse: because “Play It Safe” is bugged, I also can’t continue “Automatic Love” or “Ghost Town.”
Both missions require entering Clouds and the Afterlife, but both doors are permanently locked, no matter what I do or when I go there.
To make things even more frustrating, all of my save points start after the bug occurs. I don’t have a single save from before Takemura was supposed to call, so rolling back to an earlier state isn’t an option at all.
From what I’ve read, progressing more main story quests can sometimes trigger Takemura’s call — but I literally can’t progress further because all the relevant paths are blocked.
At this point my main story is completely soft-locked.
Has anyone found a reliable workaround for this?
I really don’t want to restart a long playthrough if there’s any way around this. Any help or confirmation would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Here’s what I’ve already tried:
- Skipped time by days (multiple times)
- Played 10+ hours of side missions and gigs
- Progressed other storylines as much as the game allows
- Reloaded saves countless times
- Slept, waited, fast-traveled, wandered around Japantown, etc.

Has anyone found a reliable workaround for this?
- Specific trigger location?
- Certain quest that must be completed first?
- Console command / save edit (PC)?
- Patch-specific fix?
