Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam

Quick answer: On PC (Steam), Final Fantasy VII Rebirth stores its saves in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam\<your-steam-id>\ — that is C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam\<steam-id>\ . They are NOT in the Steam install folder and NOT in AppData; look under Documents\My Games. Steam Cloud mirrors the folder and syncs on launch/exit, so a corrupted or half-written save can overwrite your good cloud copy — copy the whole folder before verifying files or moving PCs.

Windows (Steam): %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam
Steam Cloud: Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC keeps its saves under Documents\My Games, inside a numeric Steam-ID subfolder — not in the Steam install folder and not in AppData. 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 (Steam)

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam\<steam-id>\ . The numeric subfolder is your Steam ID and holds the save slots. Paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam into Explorer.

Steam Cloud

Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Steam Cloud keeps a mirrored copy and syncs on launch/exit. Coming back online or verifying files after a crash can pull the cloud copy down — see the cloud-conflict steps first.

Cloud saves

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth uses Steam Cloud. It uploads on exit, so a corrupted or half-written save can overwrite your good cloud copy the next launch, with no visible version history. Treat a manual copy of the Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH 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 — Steam Cloud synced an older or half-written save over the newer local one.

Before relaunching after a crash, copy %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH somewhere outside the game folder.
If the cloud rolled your progress back, go offline in Steam (or disable Steam Cloud for Rebirth in its Properties) before launching, so the bad cloud copy cannot sync down again.
Restore your copied folder into the same Documents path, launch once offline to confirm the right progress, then re-enable Steam Cloud so the good save uploads.

Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

One-line backup: paste this in Command Prompt to copy your whole Final Fantasy VII Rebirth save folder to the Desktop before an update or PC move.

robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\FF7Rebirth-save-backup" /E

Run it with the game closed. To restore, swap the source and destination paths.

FAQ

Where is the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth save file on PC?

In C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam\<steam-id>\ — not in the Steam install folder. Paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH into Explorer to find it.

Does Final Fantasy VII Rebirth use Steam Cloud?

Yes. Saves sync through Steam Cloud on launch and exit, so a bad local save can overwrite the good cloud copy — keep a manual copy of the Documents\My Games folder as a real backup.

How do I move my FF7 Rebirth saves to a new PC?

Let Steam Cloud sync, or copy Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH to the same path on the new PC before first launch, keeping the numeric Steam-ID subfolder intact.

Why did my FF7 Rebirth progress roll back?

Usually a Steam Cloud conflict after a crash or a session on a second PC: an older save won the sync. Restore your folder backup, launch offline to confirm, then re-enable cloud.
