Save location

Open save folder

Manual backup: Save and exit the game, let current launcher sync finish, then copy the listed files and required folders to a separate location. Keep the original intact.

Can’t find the location?

Check the store edition, Windows user and active account. Documents may be redirected to OneDrive or another disk. If you have never saved, save normally in the game first. A matching path does not prove the files will load in another version.

How to back up these files on Windows →

Missing or overwritten progress?

Keep the files you still have. Check the account, game edition and retained backups before restoring. If no copy of the earlier progress remains, a backup tool cannot recreate it.

Keep the current account folder and SaveGamesBackup separately. Inspect the milestone inside an existing backup before applying it; the newest filename alone does not identify the wanted progress.

Restore a retained copy, then check the game

  1. Close the game and retain the current files separately, even if they look empty or incorrect. Match the account, store edition and complete save scope shown above.
  2. Use a retained backup from the desired session. Follow the game’s documented procedure or the linked restore guide; keep the backup unchanged while applying a copy.
  3. Load the intended slot and verify a recognizable milestone. Exit and reopen to check that it persists, then resolve any launcher sync prompt using the preserved candidates.
