Hades II Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-09-24

Quick answer: On PC, Hades II saves live in your Windows Saved Games folder, not in Documents: C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Hades II\, holding Profile1.sav, Profile2.sav and so on (one file per save slot). The Steam AppID is 1145360 and progress syncs through Steam Cloud.
Windows (Steam / Epic)
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II
Steam Deck / Linux (Proton)
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1145360/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/Hades II

Hades II keeps your saves in the Windows Saved Games known folder - C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Hades II - as Profile1.sav, Profile2.sav and so on, one file per slot. Here are the exact paths for PC, Steam Deck, PS5 and Xbox, plus how to back them up and fix Steam Cloud conflicts.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam / Epic)
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II

This is the OS 'Saved Games' known folder (C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Hades II), NOT Documents\My Games where many games save. Files are Profile1.sav, Profile2.sav... one per slot.

Steam Deck / Linux (Proton)
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1145360/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/Hades II

Proton maps the Windows Saved Games folder inside the game's compatdata prefix (1145360 is the Hades II AppID). Enable 'View hidden files' in the file manager to see .local.

PlayStation 5
Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data (PS5)

Console saves are sealed; back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.

Xbox (Series X|S)
My games & apps > Hades II > Manage game > Saved data

Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your Microsoft account; there is no user-accessible file on disk.

Cloud saves

The Steam and Epic builds sync through their own cloud. Steam Cloud copies the Saved Games\Hades II files up on exit; on a conflict, keep the copy matching your real last playtime, then let it sync. Because Hades II uses the Saved Games known folder, moving between PCs is as simple as copying that folder if cloud is off.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Paste %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II and press Enter.
  3. You will see Profile1.sav, Profile2.sav and so on - one file per save slot.
  4. Copy those files somewhere safe before verifying game files, reinstalling, or moving to a new PC.

Save problems & fixes

Hades II Saved Games folder is empty or missing

The Hades II subfolder is only created after you start the game and reach the first save. Launch once, then re-check %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II.

Progress reset or an old run loaded after switching PCs

This is a Steam Cloud conflict. Close the game, copy the newer Profile*.sav from the PC with your real latest playtime into %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II on the other machine, then reopen and let cloud sync up.

FAQ

Where is the Hades II save file on PC?

In the Windows Saved Games known folder: C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Hades II\ (Profile1.sav, Profile2.sav...). It is NOT under Documents\My Games.

Why can't I find Hades II under Documents\My Games?

Hades II does not save there. Unlike many games, it uses the dedicated 'Saved Games' known folder at %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II. Paste that path into the Run box (Win+R) to reach it.

Which Profile*.sav is my run?

Profile1.sav is save slot 1, Profile2.sav is slot 2, and so on, matching the slot order in the game's save menu.

Does Hades II use cloud saves?

Yes - Steam Cloud (and Epic's cloud on that build) syncs the Saved Games\Hades II files. Keep sync on and pick the newer copy if a conflict appears.
