Elden Ring Nightreign Save File Location

Quick answer: On PC, Elden Ring Nightreign save files are stored in %APPDATA%\Nightreign\<user-id>\ as an NR0000.sl2 file. Copy that folder to back up your expeditions before updating or moving to a new PC.

Here's exactly where Elden Ring Nightreign keeps your save files on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before an update or a new PC.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%APPDATA%\Nightreign\<user-id>\NR0000.sl2

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\Nightreign\<Steam-ID>\NR0000.sl2 . AppData\Roaming is hidden — paste %APPDATA% into the Run box. Like base Elden Ring, the save is a single .sl2 tied to your Steam ID.

Steam Deck / Linux (Proton)
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/2622380/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Nightreign/

Under Proton the same Nightreign folder lives inside the game's compatdata prefix (app id 2622380).

Cloud saves

Elden Ring Nightreign uses Steam Cloud. The .sl2 is bound to the Steam ID it was created under, so copying a save to a different account will not load. Quit the game before restoring a backup so Steam Cloud uploads your restored file instead of re-downloading the old one.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Paste the folder path shown above (for example %LOCALAPPDATA% or %APPDATA%) and press Enter.
  3. Open the Elden Ring Nightreign save folder 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 the cloud syncs on launch before you restore a backup. Fully quit Elden Ring Nightreign, disable cloud saves for it (Steam: right-click > Properties > General), copy your good save into the save folder above, launch once 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 the save folder 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 a save with the game running — that is the most common cause of corruption.

FAQ

Where is the Elden Ring Nightreign save file on PC?

On Steam it's at %APPDATA%\Nightreign\<user-id>\NR0000.sl2. Press Win+R and paste the environment-variable path (e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA% or %APPDATA%) to open the folder.

How do I back up my Elden Ring Nightreign save?

Copy the whole save folder shown above to a safe location, then paste it back to restore. Close the game first so cloud sync doesn't overwrite it.

Does the Steam and Game Pass / console version share saves?

No. Different stores (Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, consoles) keep Elden Ring Nightreign saves in separate folders or sealed cloud containers, so progress does not transfer automatically between them.
