Grounded 2 Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-08

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Grounded2

Quick answer: On PC (Steam), Grounded 2 stores saves at C:\Users\<you>\Saved Games\Grounded2\ . The fastest route is Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Grounded2 and press Enter. If it's empty, check the AppData fallbacks (LocalLow\Grounded 2\SaveGames). The Microsoft Store / Game Pass build instead wraps saves in a packaged container under AppData\Local\Packages. Copy the whole Grounded2 folder to back up every world.
Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Grounded2
Windows (AppData fallback)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Grounded 2\SaveGames
Windows (Game Pass / Microsoft Store)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages (packaged container)
Steam Cloud copy
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Grounded 2 (Obsidian, Unreal Engine) stores PC saves in the Saved Games special folder, not Documents — and the Game Pass build hides them in a packaged container instead, which trips up a lot of co-op players. Here is the exact path, how to open it, and how to back it up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Grounded2

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\Saved Games\Grounded2\ . This is the Saved Games special folder, separate from Documents.

Windows (AppData fallback)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Grounded 2\SaveGames

Some installs also write under AppData\LocalLow\Grounded 2\SaveGames (or Local\Roaming variants). Check here if Saved Games is empty. AppData is hidden by default.

Windows (Game Pass / Microsoft Store)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages (packaged container)

The Game Pass build wraps saves in a packaged app container under AppData\Local\Packages, not the Saved Games folder.

Steam Cloud copy
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

The Steam version syncs via Steam Cloud on launch/exit. A corrupted local world can overwrite the good cloud copy, so keep a manual backup.

Cloud saves

The Steam version of Grounded 2 syncs saves via Steam Cloud on launch and exit, while the Game Pass build uses Xbox cloud saves. Because a corrupted world can overwrite the good cloud copy the next time you launch, a manual copy of the Grounded2 folder is your real backup — especially important for shared co-op worlds.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Common loss: a co-op world 'disappears' after switching between the Steam and Game Pass builds (different save locations), or progress rolls back after a crash via cloud sync.

  1. Confirm which build you launch: Steam uses Saved Games\Grounded2, Game Pass uses a container under AppData\Local\Packages — saves do not transfer automatically between them.
  2. Before relaunching after a crash, copy the whole Grounded2 folder somewhere safe.
  3. If the cloud rolled progress back, disable cloud sync (Steam Cloud, or go offline on Xbox), restore your world, launch once to confirm, then re-enable.

Save problems & fixes

FAQ

Where is the Grounded 2 save file on PC?

On Steam, in C:\Users\<you>\Saved Games\Grounded2\ . Open it with %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Grounded2.

Where does the Game Pass version of Grounded 2 save?

In a packaged app container under AppData\Local\Packages, not the Saved Games folder — which is why saves don't carry over from the Steam build.

Why did my Grounded 2 co-op world disappear?

Usually because you switched between the Steam and Game Pass builds, which use different save locations. Saves don't transfer between them automatically.

How do I back up Grounded 2 saves?

Copy the whole Saved Games\Grounded2 folder (or the AppData\LocalLow\Grounded 2\SaveGames folder) somewhere safe while the game is closed.
