How to Transfer Your Dragon Age: Inquisition Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Dragon Age: Inquisition save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save
Copy the entire Save folder (your character saves and the accompanying keep/world-state files).
Where the files live: see the full Dragon Age: Inquisition save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Dragon Age: Inquisition save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the entire Save folder (your character saves and the accompanying keep/world-state files).
- Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Dragon Age: Inquisition on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Open the same path (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save) on the new PC and paste your 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?
On PC, Dragon Age: Inquisition syncs through the EA app / Origin cloud, not Steam Cloud. Sign into the EA app on the new PC and let it sync first; if it conflicts with your copied files, keep the local ones.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting to close the game / let the cloud finish syncing before copying — a later sync can overwrite your restore.
- Your imported world state comes from Dragon Age Keep online (tied to your EA account), so it follows you automatically once you sign in.
