God of War Ragnarök Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök

Quick answer: On PC, God of War Ragnarök stores its saves in %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök\<your-steam-id>\ — that is C:\Users\<you>\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök\<steam-id>\ . Note it is under the Windows 'Saved Games' folder, NOT in AppData and NOT in the Steam install folder. Steam Cloud mirrors this folder and syncs on launch/exit, so a corrupted or half-written save can overwrite your good cloud copy — copy the whole God of War Ragnarök folder before verifying files or moving PCs.
Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök
Windows (Epic)

Steam Cloud
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

God of War Ragnarök on PC keeps its saves under the Windows 'Saved Games' folder, inside a numeric account-ID subfolder — not in AppData and not in the Steam install folder. 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%\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök\<steam-id>\ . The numeric subfolder is your Steam ID and holds the save slots. Press Win+R and paste %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök to jump straight there.

Windows (Epic)
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök

The Epic Games Store build uses the same Saved Games path, under a folder keyed to your account id rather than a Steam ID.

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

God of War Ragnarök uses Steam Cloud on PC. It uploads the save folder 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 Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök 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 — the cloud synced an older or half-written save over the newer local one.

  1. Before relaunching after a crash, copy %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök somewhere outside the game folder.
  2. If the cloud rolled your progress back, go offline / disable cloud sync for this game in its launcher before launching, so the bad cloud copy cannot sync down again.
  3. Restore your copied folder into the same path, launch once offline to confirm the right progress, then re-enable cloud so the good save uploads.
Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

One-line backup: paste this in Command Prompt to copy your whole God of War Ragnarök save folder to the Desktop before an update or PC move.

robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\GoWR-save-backup" /E

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

Save problems & fixes

FAQ

Where is the God of War Ragnarök save file on PC?

In C:\Users\<you>\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök\<steam-id>\ — under the Windows 'Saved Games' folder, not AppData and not the Steam install folder. Press Win+R and paste %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök .

Does God of War Ragnarök use Steam Cloud?

Yes. The save folder syncs through Steam Cloud on launch and exit, so a bad local save can overwrite the good cloud copy — keep a manual copy of the Saved Games folder as a real backup.

How do I move my God of War Ragnarök saves to a new PC?

Let Steam Cloud sync, or copy the Saved Games\God of War Ragnarök folder to the same path on the new PC before first launch, keeping the numeric ID subfolder intact.

Why did my God of War Ragnarök 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.
