How to Transfer Your Grounded Save to a New PC
Copy the whole Grounded folder from Saved Games — each numbered sub-folder inside is one world, so copy them all to keep every base.

How to transfer your Grounded save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Grounded and press Enter.
- Copy the entire Grounded folder (the numbered sub-folders inside are your worlds) to a USB drive, cloud folder, or network share.
- Install Grounded on the new PC (Steam) and launch it once, then close it.
- Open %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Grounded on the new PC and paste the copied world folders in.
- Launch and confirm each world appears in your load menu before deleting the backup.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Grounded uses Steam Cloud (Steam) and Xbox Cloud (Store/Game Pass). If you copy the Steam save by hand, let Steam Cloud finish syncing on the new PC first so a later sync doesn't overwrite your pasted files. The Xbox/Game Pass build is managed by the Xbox app — move it via cloud sync, not by hand.
Common mistakes
- Copying one world folder but missing the others — grab the whole Grounded folder.
- Game Pass saves live in protected Xbox storage you can't paste into; use Xbox Cloud sync instead.
FAQ
How do I move my Grounded save to a new PC?
Copy the save from %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Grounded on the old PC to the exact same path on the new PC, then launch the game. Use a USB drive, cloud storage, or a network share to move the files.
Will Grounded cloud saves transfer automatically?
Grounded uses Steam Cloud (Steam) and Xbox Cloud (Store/Game Pass). If you copy the Steam save by hand, let Steam Cloud finish syncing on the new PC first so a later sync doesn't overwrite your pasted files. The Xbox/Game Pass build is managed by the Xbox app — move it via cloud sync, not by hand.
Where is the Grounded save folder on the old PC?
It's at %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Grounded. Paste that into the File Explorer address bar (or Win+R) to open it. See our full location guide for every platform.
Do I need to copy any other files?
Copy the whole save folder, not just one file — some games store settings, backups, or profile sub-folders alongside the main save. Copying the entire folder avoids missing anything.
