Here's exactly where Dishonored 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 (Steam / Epic / GOG)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\SaveData

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\SaveData\ .

Steam Cloud copy
Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\205100\Remote

205100 is Dishonored's Steam app ID. This is the cloud-synced mirror; disabling Steam Cloud moves it to the Local subfolder.

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

Dishonored on Steam syncs through Steam Cloud (userdata\205100\Remote). If a bad sync overwrites a good save, disable Steam Cloud before launching, restore the local Documents copy, then re-enable it.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Dishonored and press Enter.
  3. Open DishonoredGame, then SaveData.
  4. Copy the SaveData folder somewhere safe before verifying files or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Dishonored save won't load or is corrupted

Restore a backup from Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\SaveData. On Steam, disable Steam Cloud first so it doesn't re-overwrite your restored file.

Dishonored saves missing after reinstall

The Documents\My Games folder survives reinstalls — check the same Windows user and turn on 'Show hidden files'. If only cloud remains, re-enable Steam Cloud to pull userdata\205100 back down.

FAQ

Does Dishonored use Steam Cloud?

Yes. The Steam version syncs saves to userdata\<SteamID>\205100. If cloud sync overwrites progress, disable it, restore the Documents copy, then re-enable.
