Checkpoint64 offers 2 launch options for Cyberpunk 2077. A launch option is a switch the game reads from its command line when it starts. Tick the ones you want in Checkpoint64 and the app adds them every time you press LAUNCH, or type them into Steam yourself.
Every option and what it does
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
--launcher-skip | Skips the REDlauncher and starts the game directly; cross-progression cloud sync needs the launcher. |
-skipStartScreen | Skips the Breaching / press-Space start screen; the logo splash screens still play. |
Launching Cyberpunk 2077 with them in Checkpoint64
- Open your Cyberpunk 2077 save in Checkpoint64. LAUNCH appears there when the game is installed through Steam on that PC.
- Open Launch options under it and tick the ones you want — each shows the explanation above.
- Press LAUNCH: Checkpoint64 starts Cyberpunk 2077 through Steam with the options you ticked.
Your picks are saved to your Checkpoint64 account per platform, so a Windows PC and a Linux machine each keep their own set.
Adding them in Steam yourself
- In your Steam Library, right-click Cyberpunk 2077 and choose Properties.
- On the General tab, find Launch Options.
- Type the options you want, separated by spaces — for example
--launcher-skip -skipStartScreen— and close the window.
Launch options change how Cyberpunk 2077 starts, not your saves. If the game won't start after adding one, take it back out.
