Fix: Cyberpunk 2077 Not Showing Up in Steam Library

Here we’ve shared a couple of possible workarounds that should gonna help you out. So, without wasting any more time, let’s jump into it.

1. The game is uninstalled (or not fully installed)

The chances are high that somehow your Cyberpunk 2077 game is uninstalled or not fully installed yet on the PC. If it’s uninstalled or stuck in the installation process then you might not find the game in your Steam library most probably.

Make sure that the game files are available in the proper location on the PC drive wherever you’ve saved them. Head over to the default Steam folder location on the PC. For example – C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamappsCommon.
If your games have been installed on a different partition then you can try the following steps:
Launch the Steam client > Go to the Steam tab from the top-left corner.
Click on Settings > Go to Downloads.
Click on Steam Library Folders. (Your Steam Library folders open in a window)
Now, click on Add Library Folder > Checkmark the particular folder in which you’ve previously installed the Cyberpunk 2077 game.
Once the proper destination folder is added, your Cyberpunk 2077 game might show up in your Steam account.

2. Check the game license

It’s worth recommending to check out the license or subscription for your purchased game on the Steam account that you’re trying to find in the Steam Library section. If it’s not showing up in the library then try purchasing the Cyberpunk 2077 game again. Sometimes issues with the internet connection or the Steam server-related issues may trigger the license validation process error.

Launch the Steam client > Go to the Steam tab from the top-left corner.
Click on Settings > Go to Downloads.
Click on Steam Library Folders. (Your Steam Library folders open in a window)
Now, click on Add Library Folder > Checkmark the particular folder in which you’ve previously installed the Cyberpunk 2077 game.
