Save file locations

Windows (Steam / Epic)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\WB Games\Batman Arkham Knight\<SteamID>\SaveData

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\WB Games\Batman Arkham Knight\<numbers>\SaveData . A local backup copy sits in the SaveData\backup subfolder.

PlayStation (PS3/PS4/PS5)
Settings › Saved Data and Game/App Settings › Saved Data

Console saves are sealed and can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.

Xbox (360 / One / Series X|S)
My games & apps › <Game> › Manage game › Saved data

Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your Microsoft account; there is no user-accessible save file on disk.

Cloud saves

Batman: Arkham Knight saves sync to Steam Cloud automatically, but the game also keeps local copies in Documents\WB Games (including a SaveData\backup folder) that you can restore manually if the cloud copy is wrong.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %userprofile%\Documents\WB Games\Batman Arkham Knight and press Enter.
  3. Open the folder named after your Steam ID, then SaveData (and SaveData\backup for the local backup).
  4. Copy the save files somewhere safe before reinstalling or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Arkham Knight save won't load or reset to zero

Restore from Documents\WB Games\Batman Arkham Knight\<SteamID>\SaveData\backup. If Steam Cloud overwrote your local save, disable Cloud in the game's Steam properties before relaunching.

Save missing after new PC

The folder is keyed to your Steam ID — sign into the same account and let Steam Cloud sync before launching, or manually copy the SaveData folder across.
