Divinity: Original Sin 2 Save File Location

Here's exactly where Divinity: Original Sin 2 stores your saves on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back them up.

Save file locations

Windows (Definitive Edition, Steam)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition\PlayerProfiles

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition\PlayerProfiles\<profile>\Savegames_patch9\ . Saves are .lsv files inside a folder per save.

Windows (original release)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2\PlayerProfiles

The pre-Definitive version uses the same layout under a 'Divinity Original Sin 2' folder instead of the Definitive Edition one.

Cloud saves

On PC, Divinity: Original Sin 2 uses Steam Cloud, so your .lsv saves sync across machines with the same account. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose a long co-op campaign.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
  3. Open Larian Studios > Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition > PlayerProfiles > your profile > Savegames.
  4. Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

FAQ

Where is the Divinity: Original Sin 2 save file on PC?

For the Definitive Edition it's at C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition\PlayerProfiles\<profile>\Savegames. Press Win+R, type %localappdata%, then browse to the Larian Studios folder.

How do I back up my Divinity: Original Sin 2 save?

Copy the save folders (each holding an .lsv file) from your PlayerProfiles\<profile>\Savegames folder to a safe location, then paste them back to restore.

How do I share a Divinity: Original Sin 2 save with a co-op partner?

Send the save's .lsv folder; the host loads it, since story campaigns are driven by the host's save rather than each player's copy.
