How to Transfer Your Dragon Age: The Veilguard Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Dragon Age: The Veilguard save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games
Copy the whole 'save games' folder under Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard — both Steam and EA app builds use this same folder.
Where the files live: see the full Dragon Age: The Veilguard save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Dragon Age: The Veilguard save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the whole 'save games' folder under Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard — both Steam and EA app builds use this same folder.
- Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Dragon Age: The Veilguard 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 (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games) and paste your copied save 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 — Veilguard syncs through Steam Cloud and/or the EA app cloud, so saves follow your account. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy.
Common mistakes
- Running one build (Steam) on the old PC and the other (EA app) on the new one and expecting cloud to bridge them — copy the folder manually to be safe.
- Copying one save but not the whole 'save games' folder (autosaves included).
