How to Transfer Your Atomfall Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Atomfall save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Atomfall\PC_ProfileSaves\<user-id>
Copy the entire save folder at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Atomfall\PC_ProfileSaves\<user-id> from the old PC to the exact same path on the new PC — it holds every slot and the game's automatic backups.
Where the files live: see the full Atomfall save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Atomfall save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Atomfall\PC_ProfileSaves\<user-id> and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the whole folder (all slots plus any Backup sub-folder) to a USB drive, OneDrive/Google Drive, or a network share.
- Install Atomfall on the new PC and launch it once, then close it so the empty save folder is created.
- Open the same path (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Atomfall\PC_ProfileSaves\<user-id>) on the new PC and paste your copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your progress loads before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
On Steam Atomfall uses Steam Cloud, so PC_ProfileSaves syncs across machines on the same account. Close the game before restoring a backup so Steam Cloud doesn't overwrite your restored save with the older online copy on the next launch.
Common mistakes
- Copying only one slot file instead of the whole save folder — you can lose other slots and the game's backups.
- If your path contains a user-id / SteamID sub-folder, paste your files INTO the matching id folder the new install created, not next to it — the game won't read saves outside your own id folder.
- Letting Steam Cloud overwrite your restored save: quit the game after pasting so Steam uploads the copy you just restored, and if a conflict dialog appears keep the newer timestamp.
