Save file locations
...\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\SaveGames
Full path: <SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\SaveGames\ . Your character file is named <numbers>_Player.sav; the extra files next to it are the game's own rolling backups.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\CoffeeStainStudios.DeepRockGalactic
The Microsoft Store / Game Pass build keeps saves in its own package folder under AppData\Local\Packages instead of the install directory, and does not share progress with the Steam version by default.
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.
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.
Cloud saves
On Steam, Deep Rock Galactic uses Steam Cloud, so your Player.sav syncs across machines with the same account. Because the local copy sits inside the install folder, be careful verifying files or reinstalling with Cloud off — back up SaveGames first.
How to open the save folder
- In Steam, right-click Deep Rock Galactic and choose Manage > Browse local files.
- Open the FSD > Saved > SaveGames folder.
- Your character is the file ending in _Player.sav (the number prefix is your account ID).
- Copy the whole SaveGames folder somewhere safe before verifying files, modding, or moving PCs.
