How to Transfer Your Borderlands 4 Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Borderlands 4 save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 4\Saved\SaveGames\<user-id>
Copy the whole SaveGames\<user-id> folder — each Vault Hunter is a separate save file inside it.
Where the files live: see the full Borderlands 4 save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Borderlands 4 save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 4\Saved\SaveGames\<user-id>, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Select everything in that folder and copy it to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Borderlands 4 on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- The <user-id> folder is named with your Steam or Epic ID. If the new PC uses a different account, the game makes a fresh folder; move your files into the new ID's folder.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 4\Saved\SaveGames\<user-id>) and paste the copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Yes on Steam and Epic with cloud saves enabled — Borderlands 4 syncs your SaveGames folder when you sign into the same account. Copy manually if cloud is off.
Common mistakes
- Copying one character file and forgetting the others in the folder.
- New PC uses a different Steam/Epic ID, so the folder name doesn't match.
