How to Transfer Your Metaphor: ReFantazio Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Metaphor: ReFantazio save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%APPDATA%\SEGA\METAPHOR\Steam\<SteamID>
Copy the whole METAPHOR folder (your .sav files are inside the numbered Steam ID subfolder) to the new PC.
Where the files live: see the full Metaphor: ReFantazio save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Metaphor: ReFantazio save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %APPDATA%\SEGA\METAPHOR\Steam\<SteamID>, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Select everything in that folder and copy it to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Metaphor: ReFantazio on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- The Microsoft Store / Xbox PC build uses a METAPHOR\Microsoft subfolder instead of Steam — the two are not interchangeable.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%APPDATA%\SEGA\METAPHOR\Steam\<SteamID>) and paste the copied files 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 with Steam Cloud enabled — Metaphor saves sync when you sign into the same account. Copy the METAPHOR folder by hand only if cloud is off.
Common mistakes
- Copying between the Steam and Microsoft subfolders.
- New PC uses a different Steam ID, so the numbered folder doesn't match.
