Against the Storm Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows (Steam / GOG / Epic)): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm

Quick answer: On PC, Against the Storm stores its saves in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm\ — that is C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm\ . Inside you'll find Save.sav (current settlement), WorldSave.sav (world-map cycle), MetaSave.sav (meta progression) and a Profiles folder. Note it is LocalLow, and this is the same path for Steam, GOG and Epic. The PC Game Pass build is different — it redirects saves into its own Xbox app package folder. Steam Cloud mirrors this folder, so copy it before updating or moving PCs.
Windows (Steam / GOG / Epic)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm
Windows (PC Game Pass / Xbox app)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\HoodedHorse.AgainsttheStorm_znaey1dw2bdpr\SystemAppData\xgs
Steam Cloud
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Against the Storm splits your progress across Save.sav, WorldSave.sav and MetaSave.sav under AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games — and PC Game Pass puts them somewhere else entirely. Here are the exact PC paths, how to open them, and how to back them up as one matching set.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam / GOG / Epic)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm\ . Key files: Save.sav (settlement), WorldSave.sav (world cycle), MetaSave.sav (meta progression), plus Profiles. Press Win+R and paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm .

Windows (PC Game Pass / Xbox app)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\HoodedHorse.AgainsttheStorm_znaey1dw2bdpr\SystemAppData\xgs

The Game Pass build redirects saves out of LocalLow into this Xbox app package folder. There is also an 'Against the Storm Auto Backups' folder under LocalLow\Eremite Games on Game Pass.

Steam Cloud
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Steam Cloud keeps a mirrored copy and syncs on launch/exit. Coming back online or verifying files after a crash can pull the cloud copy down — see the cloud-conflict steps first.

Cloud saves

Against the Storm uses Steam Cloud (and cross-platform cloud on GOG/Epic) and syncs the save folder on launch/exit. Because meta progression, the world cycle and the current settlement are separate .sav files, a half-written save after a crash can desync them and roll progress back. There is no visible version history, so treat a manual copy of the Eremite Games\Against the Storm folder as your real backup.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

The common loss is 'my progress rolled back' after a crash or a session on a second PC — the cloud synced an older or half-written save over the newer local one.

  1. Before relaunching after a crash, copy %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm somewhere outside the game folder.
  2. If the cloud rolled your progress back, go offline / disable cloud sync for this game in its launcher before launching, so the bad cloud copy cannot sync down again.
  3. Restore your copied folder into the same path, launch once offline to confirm the right progress, then re-enable cloud so the good save uploads.
Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

One-line backup: paste this in Command Prompt to copy your whole Against the Storm save folder to the Desktop before an update or PC move.

robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\AgainstTheStorm-save-backup" /E

Run it with the game closed. To restore, swap the source and destination paths.

FAQ

Where is the Against the Storm save file on PC?

In C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm\ (Save.sav, WorldSave.sav, MetaSave.sav, Profiles). Press Win+R and paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm .

Does Against the Storm use Steam Cloud?

Yes, plus cross-platform cloud on GOG/Epic. The .sav files sync on launch and exit, so a bad local save can overwrite the good cloud copy — keep a manual copy of the folder as a real backup.

Where are Against the Storm saves on PC Game Pass?

The Game Pass build redirects them to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\HoodedHorse.AgainsttheStorm_znaey1dw2bdpr\SystemAppData\xgs, with an auto-backup folder under LocalLow\Eremite Games.

How do I move my Against the Storm saves to a new PC?

Let Steam Cloud sync, or copy the whole AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm folder to the same path on the new PC before first launch — keep all .sav files together.
