How to Transfer Your Enshrouded Save to a New PC
Move your Enshrouded save to a new PC — the exact folder to copy, cloud-sync notes, and the mistakes that lose progress.
...\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1203620\remote
Copy the entire save folder from ...\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1203620\remote on your old PC to the exact same path on the new PC — that folder is your whole Enshrouded progress.
Where the files live: see the full Enshrouded save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Enshrouded save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste ...\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1203620\remote, and press Enter to open the Enshrouded save folder.
- Select everything inside that folder and copy it to a USB drive, a cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or a network share.
- Install Enshrouded on the new PC and launch it once, then quit — this creates the empty save folder so the path exists.
- On the new PC, open the same path (...\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1203620\remote) and paste the copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch Enshrouded and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Enshrouded uses Steam Cloud, so your world follows your Steam account across machines when cloud is enabled. If a cloud and local save conflict after playing offline, keep the newer set so you don't lose base-building progress. Note: a dedicated server keeps its world on the server, not in these folders.
Common mistakes
- Copying only a single save file instead of the whole folder — many games keep settings, profiles, or rolling backups alongside the main save.
- Forgetting to launch Enshrouded once on the new PC first, so the destination folder doesn't exist yet when you paste.
