Dark Souls Remastered save file location

Windows save reference

Dark Souls Remastered Windows save references use NBGI\DARK SOULS REMASTERED in your Windows Documents folder. Check the Remastered edition and account before copying; Dark Souls III and other editions have different paths.

Save location

Open save folder
〈Windows Documents folder〉\NBGI\DARK SOULS REMASTERED

Opens with the SaveNest Windows app. Need the app? Download SaveNest →

Replace 〈…〉 with your actual folder or account. * and ? are file patterns, not a folder to paste into Run.

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.

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.

Preserve the complete Remastered account save. Several characters can share its save container, so record other characters before a rollback and check them again after restoring.

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.
