End of Abyss Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-01

Save file location (Windows (Epic Games Store)): %LOCALAPPDATA%\EndOfAbyss\Saved\SaveGames

Quick answer: On PC (Epic Games Store), End of Abyss follows the standard Unreal Engine 5 convention: your save lives under %LOCALAPPDATA% in the game's project folder, i.e. C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\EndOfAbyss\Saved\SaveGames\ as .sav files. This is NOT in Documents and NOT in the Epic Games install folder. If the exact folder name differs (UE projects sometimes ship under an internal codename), open %LOCALAPPDATA% and look for the newest folder containing a Saved\SaveGames tree. Epic Cloud Saves mirrors these files and syncs on launch/exit, so a corrupted or half-written .sav can overwrite your good cloud copy the next time you launch — copy the SaveGames folder before verifying files or switching PCs.

Windows (Epic Games Store): %LOCALAPPDATA%\EndOfAbyss\Saved\SaveGames
AppData\Local (codename/name variants): %LOCALAPPDATA%
Epic Cloud Saves: Managed by the Epic Games Launcher

End of Abyss is an Unreal Engine 5 game on the Epic Games Store, so your saves are not in Documents or the Epic install folder — they sit in the AppData\Local project folder under the UE Saved\SaveGames tree. Here is the exact PC path, how to open it, and how to back it up before a bad cloud sync.

Save file locations

Windows (Epic Games Store)

%LOCALAPPDATA%\EndOfAbyss\Saved\SaveGames

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\EndOfAbyss\Saved\SaveGames\ . Saves are .sav files in the Unreal Engine Saved tree under AppData\Local — not Documents, not the Epic install folder. Paste %LOCALAPPDATA% into Explorer and open the EndOfAbyss (or the game's project) folder.

AppData\Local (codename/name variants)

%LOCALAPPDATA%

UE5 titles occasionally ship the Saved tree under an internal project codename rather than the store name. If EndOfAbyss is missing, open %LOCALAPPDATA%, sort by date modified, and look for the newest folder that contains Saved\SaveGames.

Epic Cloud Saves

Managed by the Epic Games Launcher

Epic Cloud Saves keeps a mirrored copy and syncs on launch/exit. Going online after a crash can pull the cloud copy down over your local save — see the cloud-conflict steps first.

Cloud saves

End of Abyss uses Epic Cloud Saves. The Epic Games Launcher uploads your save on exit, so a corrupted or half-written .sav can overwrite your good cloud copy the next time you launch, with no visible version history in the launcher. Treat a manual copy of the %LOCALAPPDATA%\EndOfAbyss\Saved\SaveGames folder as your real backup, kept outside the game directory.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

The common loss is 'my progress rolled back' after a crash or a session on a second PC — Epic Cloud Saves synced an older or half-written .sav over the newer local one.

Before relaunching after a crash, copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\EndOfAbyss\Saved\SaveGames somewhere outside the game folder.
If the cloud rolled your progress back, disable cloud saves for End of Abyss in the Epic Games Launcher settings before launching, so the bad cloud copy cannot sync down again.
Restore your copied SaveGames folder into the same AppData\Local path, launch once with cloud disabled to confirm the right progress, then re-enable Epic Cloud Saves so the good save uploads.

FAQ

Where is the End of Abyss save file on PC?

In C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\EndOfAbyss\Saved\SaveGames\ as .sav files — the Unreal Engine 5 location, not Documents and not the Epic install folder. Paste %LOCALAPPDATA% into Explorer and open the EndOfAbyss (or newest project) folder.

Does End of Abyss use cloud saves?

Yes, via Epic Cloud Saves. The Epic Games Launcher syncs on launch and exit, so a bad local .sav can overwrite the good cloud copy — keep a manual copy of the Saved\SaveGames folder as a real backup.

Why did my End of Abyss progress roll back?

Usually an Epic Cloud Saves conflict after a crash or a session on a second PC: an older or half-written .sav won the sync. Restore your SaveGames folder backup, launch with cloud disabled to confirm, then re-enable cloud so the good save uploads.

How do I move my End of Abyss saves to a new PC?

Let Epic Cloud Saves sync, or copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\EndOfAbyss\Saved\SaveGames to the same path on the new PC before first launch.
