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, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut syncs saves through Steam Cloud (or Epic cloud), so they follow your account across machines. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose progress.
Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut on PC saves in Documents and syncs to the store cloud, so a conflict can revert progress. Back it up before verifying files:
robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\GoT-Save-Backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1
This mirrors the whole save folder to the Desktop untouched, on Steam or Epic. Quit the game before restoring so the cloud uploads your copy, not the older online save.

- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %userprofile%\Documents and press Enter.
- Open Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT, then your user-ID folder.

Save problems & fixes
Ghost of Tsushima save won’t load or says it’s corrupt
Close the game, then verify files on Steam (Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity) or Epic (three dots → Verify). Copy any backup sitting next to the save over the broken file before relaunching; a mid-sync crash usually leaves the previous good copy intact.
My Ghost of Tsushima save is missing or the folder is empty
The folder name uses DIRECTOR'S CUT in caps with an apostrophe — make sure you’re in %USERPROFILE%\Documents, not OneDrive’s redirected Documents. If Documents is redirected to OneDrive, check the OneDrive\Documents path too, then let cloud sync finish before opening the game.
Ghost of Tsushima progress rolled back after a cloud conflict
When Steam (or the console) reports a save conflict, always keep the version with the LATER timestamp — picking the older cloud copy overwrites newer progress and is the #1 cause of “lost hours.” If unsure, disable cloud sync, back up the local folder first, then re-enable it and let it sync.
