Bus Simulator 27 (astragon, 2026) is an Unreal Engine sim, so your career sits in AppData\Local under BusSimulator27\Saved\SaveGames — not Documents, not the Steam install. Here is exactly where the SaveGames folder lives, how Steam Cloud can overwrite it, where Game Pass hides saves, and how to move to a new PC or Steam Deck.
Save file locations
C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\BusSimulator27\Saved\SaveGames\
Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\BusSimulator27\Saved\SaveGames in the Run box. This follows the Unreal Engine SaveGames convention used across the Bus Simulator series; if the exact folder name differs on your build, look for the nearest BusSimulator27\Saved\SaveGames folder under AppData\Local.
Synced from the AppData\Local SaveGames folder
On Steam, Bus Simulator 27 syncs your career via Steam Cloud, so a second PC signed into the same account downloads it. A stale or empty cloud copy can overwrite a newer local save on launch — see the cloud note below.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/<AppID>/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/BusSimulator27/Saved/SaveGames/
Under Proton the Windows AppData path is redirected into the game's compatdata prefix. Steam Cloud carries your desktop career to the Deck once both are on the same account.
Varies by store
Epic builds use the same AppData\Local\BusSimulator27\Saved\SaveGames path. Microsoft Store (Game Pass) versions sandbox saves under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\ — search that folder for the BusSimulator27 package if the standard path is empty.
Cloud saves
If you play Bus Simulator 27 on Steam it uses Steam Cloud to mirror the AppData\Local SaveGames folder, so your career follows you to another PC or a Steam Deck. The sim-game gotcha applies: if the cloud copy is older or empty — after a crash or on a fresh install — Steam can sync it over your good local save on next launch. Before restoring a backup or switching PCs, disable Steam Cloud for Bus Simulator 27, copy your SaveGames folder, then re-enable it.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\BusSimulator27\Saved\SaveGames and press Enter.
- Copy the whole SaveGames folder to a USB drive or cloud storage to back up your career.
- To move to a new PC: install Bus Simulator 27, launch once so the folders are created, close the game, then paste your backed-up SaveGames files over the new folder — or let Steam Cloud sync them.
FAQ
Where is the Bus Simulator 27 save file on PC?
Under AppData\Local at %LOCALAPPDATA%\BusSimulator27\Saved\SaveGames\ (C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\BusSimulator27\Saved\SaveGames). It follows the Unreal Engine SaveGames convention — it is not in Documents or the Steam install folder.
How do I back up or move my Bus Simulator 27 career?
Copy the SaveGames folder from %LOCALAPPDATA%\BusSimulator27\Saved\SaveGames to a USB or cloud drive. On a new PC, install the game, launch once, close it, then paste the files back — or sign into Steam and let Steam Cloud restore them.
Why can Steam Cloud overwrite my Bus Simulator 27 save?
If the cloud copy is older or empty (after a crash, a fresh install, or offline play) it can sync over your newer local save on launch. Disable Steam Cloud for the game before restoring a backup, copy your files in, then re-enable it.
I bought it on Game Pass / Microsoft Store — where are the saves?
Microsoft Store builds sandbox saves under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\ in a BusSimulator27 package folder rather than the plain AppData\Local path. Search Packages for 'BusSimulator' to find the SaveGames folder.
