Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Save File Location
Here's exactly where Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stores your save on PC and console, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before you replay or move machines.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames\<number>\
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames\<a numeric folder>\ . Your first slot is EXPEDITION_0.sav; there are extra .sav files here plus a Backup sub-folder the game keeps automatically.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\KeplerInteractive.Expedition33_ymj30pw7xe604\SystemAppData\wgs\
The Microsoft Store / Game Pass build stores saves under this Packages path in an opaque wgs container instead of a plain .sav you can rename.
Settings › Saved Data and Game/App Settings › Saved Data
Console saves can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.
My games & apps › Expedition 33 › Manage game › Saved data
Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your account; there's no user-accessible save file on disk.
Cloud saves
On PC the Steam version syncs your EXPEDITION_0.sav through Steam Cloud, so your run follows your Steam account to other computers. If Steam reports a cloud conflict after playing offline, keep the version with the later timestamp — choosing the older copy overwrites newer progress.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
- Open Sandfall › Saved › SaveGames.
- Open the numbered folder inside SaveGames.
- Your save is EXPEDITION_0.sav — copy it (and the Backup folder) somewhere safe before editing.
Save problems & fixes
Expedition 33 save won't load or shows as corrupt
Close the game and copy a file from the Backup sub-folder over the broken save. On Steam, also right-click the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.
My Expedition 33 save is missing or the folder is empty
You're likely in the wrong place — open the numbered folder inside SaveGames, not the parent. On Game Pass, saves live under the Packages\...\wgs path, not under Sandfall.
Progress rolled back after a Steam Cloud conflict
Always keep the save with the LATER timestamp. If unsure, disable Steam Cloud for the game, back up the local Sandfall folder, then re-enable and let it sync.
FAQ
Where is the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 save file on PC?
On Steam it's at C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames\<number>\EXPEDITION_0.sav. The fastest way there is Win+R → %localappdata% → open the Sandfall folder.
What is the EXPEDITION_0.sav file?
EXPEDITION_0.sav is your first save slot's actual data. Extra numbered .sav files are other slots, and the Backup folder holds automatic copies the game makes for recovery.
Does Expedition 33 use Steam Cloud?
Yes. The Steam version syncs saves through Steam Cloud, so they follow your account to other PCs. Watch for cloud conflicts after offline play and keep the newer copy.
Where does the Game Pass / Microsoft Store version save?
Under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\KeplerInteractive.Expedition33_ymj30pw7xe604\SystemAppData\wgs\ — a container folder, not a plain .sav you can rename.
