How to transfer your Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 save to a new PC

  1. On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames\<number>\ and press Enter to open the save folder.
  2. Copy the whole folder (all slots plus any Backup sub-folder) to a USB drive, OneDrive/Google Drive, or a network share.
  3. Install Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on the new PC and launch it once, then close it so the empty save folder is created.

  5. Launch the game and confirm your progress loads before deleting the backup copy.

Does cloud sync move it for you?

On PC the Steam version syncs your EXPEDITION_0.sav through Steam Cloud, so your run follows your Steam account to other computers. If Steam reports a cloud conflict after playing offline, keep the version with the later timestamp — choosing the older copy overwrites newer progress.
