How to Transfer Your God of War Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which God of War save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War
Copy the whole God of War folder under Saved Games (the one named with your Steam3 account ID) — it holds every .sav slot.
Where the files live: see the full God of War save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your God of War save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\God of War, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the whole God of War folder under Saved Games (the one named with your Steam3 account ID) — it holds every .sav slot.
- Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install God of War 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%\Saved Games\God of War) 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 on Steam — God of War uses Steam Cloud, so your .sav follows your Steam account across machines. If a local and cloud save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose progress.
Common mistakes
- Copying only one .sav slot instead of the whole account-ID folder.
- Pasting into a folder named with a different Steam3 ID on the new PC — the game won't see saves outside your own account folder.
