Days Gone Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-08

Save file location (Windows (local)): %LOCALAPPDATA%\BendGame\Saved

Quick answer: On PC, Days Gone stores saves at C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\BendGame\Saved\<id>\SaveGames\ , where <id> is a long number for your account. The fastest route is Win+R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%, press Enter, then open BendGame\Saved\<id>\SaveGames. AppData\Local is hidden by default. On Steam, a synced copy also lives under Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1259420. Copy the whole BendGame folder to back up your save before updating or moving PCs.
Windows (local)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\BendGame\Saved
Windows (Steam Cloud copy)
Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1259420

Days Gone keeps your saves in the hidden AppData\Local tree under a BendGame folder, not in Documents or the Steam install. Here is the exact PC path, how to open it, and how to back up Deacon's run before a bad cloud sync.

Save file locations

Windows (local)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\BendGame\Saved

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\BendGame\Saved\<id>\SaveGames\ . AppData\Local is hidden by default — use the Run box with %LOCALAPPDATA%.

Windows (Steam Cloud copy)
Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1259420

The Steam version mirrors saves under app ID 1259420. If local and cloud disagree, this is the copy Steam may push over your local save.

Cloud saves

Days Gone uses Steam Cloud on the Steam version, mirroring saves under Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1259420 and syncing on launch/exit. A corrupted or older cloud save can overwrite your newer local one, so keep a manual copy of the BendGame\Saved folder as your real backup.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Common loss: progress rolled back after a crash or a session on a second PC — Steam Cloud synced an older save in Steam\userdata\...\1259420 over the newer local one.

  1. Before relaunching after a crash, copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\BendGame\Saved somewhere safe.
  2. If the cloud rolled progress back, disable Steam Cloud for Days Gone in its Properties (or go offline) before launching.
  3. Restore your copied Saved folder, launch once offline to confirm, then re-enable cloud so the good save uploads.
