How to transfer your Deep Rock Galactic save to a new PC
- On the old PC, open your Steam library folder and browse to steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\SaveGames.
- Copy the file named <numbers>_Player.sav (the extra files beside it are the game's own rolling backups; grab them too to be safe).
- Move the file to a USB drive, cloud folder, or network share.
- Install Deep Rock Galactic on the new PC and launch once, then close it.
- Open the same steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\SaveGames folder on the new PC and paste your _Player.sav in, overwriting the fresh one.
- Launch and confirm your dwarves and progress loaded.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
On Steam, Deep Rock Galactic uses Steam Cloud, so signing in on the new PC often restores your Player.sav automatically. Because the save sits inside the install folder, verify files or reinstall with Cloud off ONLY after backing up SaveGames. Steam and Xbox/Game Pass saves do not share by default.
Common mistakes
- The Steam save lives in the install folder, so verifying game files or reinstalling can wipe it — back it up first.
- Xbox/Game Pass copies keep saves under AppData\Local\Packages and won't merge with a Steam Player.sav.
