Dispatch Save File Location

Quick answer: On PC, Dispatch save files are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Dispatch\Saved\SaveGames. Copy that folder to back up your progress before verifying files, updating, or moving to a new PC.

Here's exactly where Dispatch keeps your choices and progress on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back it up between episodes.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Dispatch\Saved\SaveGames

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Dispatch\Saved\SaveGames\ . AppData\Local is hidden — paste the path into the Run box.

PlayStation 5
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 PC, Dispatch's Steam release supports Steam Cloud, so your SaveGames folder can sync across machines on the same account. Close the game before restoring a backup so cloud sync doesn't overwrite your restored copy with the older online one on the next launch.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
  3. Open Dispatch > Saved > SaveGames to find your save data.
  4. Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Cloud save overwrote my newer local save (or vice-versa)

This happens when Steam Cloud syncs on launch before you restore a backup. Fully quit the game, disable Steam Cloud for it, copy your good save into AppData\Local\Dispatch\Saved\SaveGames, launch once offline to confirm it loads, then re-enable cloud so it uploads the correct copy.

Save is missing, won't load, or shows as corrupted

Verify the game files first, then look in AppData\Local\Dispatch\Saved\SaveGames for a backup or older copy (many games keep a .bak or a numbered rolling backup next to the live save). Copy that older file over the broken one while the game is closed. Never edit the save with the game running — that is the most common cause of corruption.
