How to Transfer Your Dispatch Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Dispatch save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Dispatch\Saved\SaveGames
Copy the SaveGames folder under Dispatch\Saved to the same path on the new PC.
Where the files live: see the full Dispatch save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Dispatch save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Dispatch\Saved\SaveGames, 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 Dispatch on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Dispatch\Saved\SaveGames) 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?
Dispatch uses Steam Cloud, so your progress syncs across PCs on the same Steam account. Copy the SaveGames folder manually only if Cloud is off or you play offline.
Common mistakes
- AppData\Local is hidden — paste the path into Run.
- Letting a Steam Cloud conflict overwrite the newer save — pick the newer version.

Do I need to copy any other files?
Copy the whole save folder, not just one file — some games store settings, backups, or profile subfolders alongside the main save. Copying the entire folder avoids missing anything.
