How to Transfer Your Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\MGSDelta\Saved\SaveGames
Copy the whole MGSDelta SaveGames folder (your numbered user-id subfolder inside holds the actual save).
Where the files live: see the full Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater save to a new PC
- On the old PC press Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\MGSDelta\Saved\SaveGames and press Enter.
- Copy the whole folder (including your numbered user-id subfolder) to a USB drive or cloud folder.
- Install MGS Delta on the new PC and launch it once, then close it so the save folder is created.
- Open the same path on the new PC and paste the SaveGames contents in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your Virtuous Mission progress loaded before deleting the backup.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Yes — on Steam MGS Delta uses Steam Cloud, so the SaveGames folder syncs across machines. Quit the game before restoring a backup so Steam Cloud uploads your restored save instead of re-downloading the older online copy on next launch.
Common mistakes
- Copying the wrong numbered user-id subfolder if you have several profiles.
- Letting Steam Cloud overwrite your pasted save because the game was still open.
