Here's exactly where Diablo II: Resurrected keeps your saves on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back them up before you reinstall or move to a new PC.

Save file locations

Windows (Battle.net) — offline characters
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected . Each offline hero is a .d2s file (with matching .d2i shared stash). Online ladder/Battle.net characters live on Blizzard's servers, not on disk.

PlayStation (PS3/PS4/PS5)
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.

Xbox (360 / One / Series X|S)
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.

Cloud saves

Only offline characters exist as local .d2s files you can back up. Online Battle.net characters are cloud/server-side and can't be copied or edited locally — that's Blizzard's anti-cheat design. Back up the whole Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected folder for your offline heroes.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %userprofile%\Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected and press Enter.
  3. Copy the .d2s files (and SharedStashSoftCoreV2.d2i) somewhere safe.
  4. To restore, paste them back into the same Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected folder.

Save problems & fixes

Diablo 2 Resurrected offline character disappeared

Check %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected for the .d2s file; if it's gone, restore your backup there. Online characters can't be recovered locally — contact Blizzard support.

Restored .d2s won't load

The file must sit directly in Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected (not a subfolder), and Hardcore/Softcore stashes are separate — keep the matching .d2i shared-stash file alongside it.
