Conan Exiles Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved

Quick answer: On PC, Conan Exiles stores single-player/co-op saves inside the install folder at ...\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\ . On a standard Steam install that is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\ . The whole world is a single SQLite database file: game_0.db on the current Enhanced build (UE5), or game.db on the older Legacy build (UE4). Copy that one .db file to back up everything. Because it lives in the install folder, a Verify Integrity or reinstall can remove it — copy it out first.
Windows (Steam)
Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved
Save file (Enhanced / UE5, 2026+)
ConanSandbox\Saved\game_0.db
Save file (Legacy / UE4)
ConanSandbox\Saved\game.db

Your entire Conan Exiles single-player world — character, buildings, thralls, chests — is one SQLite database inside the game's install folder. Here is the exact PC path, which file to copy depending on your version, and how to back it up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved

Full default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\ . Quick route: right-click Conan Exiles > Manage > Browse local files, then open ConanSandbox\Saved.

Save file (Enhanced / UE5, 2026+)
ConanSandbox\Saved\game_0.db

On the current Enhanced build the world database is game_0.db — this single file is the whole save.

Save file (Legacy / UE4)
ConanSandbox\Saved\game.db

On the older Legacy build the file is game.db. Copy whichever one exists on your install.

Cloud saves

Conan Exiles single-player saves sit in the install folder and are not reliably cloud-synced, so Steam Cloud is not a safety net. Keep a manual copy of the game_0.db (or game.db) file as your backup — a Verify Integrity, update, or reinstall can delete it.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Common loss: single-player world gone after a Verify Integrity of Game Files, an update, or a reinstall — the database sits in the install folder those operations rewrite.

  1. With the game closed, copy ConanSandbox\Saved\game_0.db (or game.db) somewhere outside the install folder.
  2. If the save is already gone, check for a .db-wal or .db-shm sidecar or any .bak copy in the Saved folder before giving up.
  3. To restore, paste your backed-up .db back into ConanSandbox\Saved with the game closed, then relaunch.

FAQ

Where is the Conan Exiles single-player save on PC?

Inside the install folder at ...\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\ — on Steam usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved.

Which file is the Conan Exiles save?

A single SQLite database: game_0.db on the Enhanced (UE5) build, or game.db on the older Legacy (UE4) build. That one file is your whole world.

Why did my Conan Exiles single-player world disappear?

Because the save database lives in the install folder, a Verify Integrity, update, or reinstall can delete it. Always copy the .db out first.

Copy the game_0.db (or game.db) file to the same ConanSandbox\Saved folder on the new install, with the game closed.
