How to Transfer Your Minecraft Dungeons II Save to a New PC
Last verified: 2026-10-02
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Mojang Studios\Dungeons2
On the Steam/standalone build, copy your <user-id> folder out of %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Mojang Studios\Dungeons2 — it holds your characters and worlds. The Microsoft Store / Game Pass build sandboxes saves under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages instead and is much harder to copy by hand; if you own the Store version, use Xbox cloud sync rather than copying files.
Where the files live: see the full Minecraft Dungeons II save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Minecraft Dungeons II save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %HOMEPATH%\Saved Games\Mojang Studios and press Enter, then open the Dungeons2 subfolder.
- Copy the numeric <user-id> folder inside (it holds your characters and worlds) to a USB drive or cloud folder.
- Install Minecraft Dungeons II on the new PC and launch it once, then close it fully — this creates the empty Saved Games\Mojang Studios\Dungeons2 tree.
- Paste your <user-id> folder into the same path on the new PC, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your characters loaded before deleting the backup copy.
- Game Pass / Microsoft Store build: do NOT hand-copy the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages folder — sign into the same Xbox/Microsoft account and let cloud sync pull your characters down instead.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
The Store/Game Pass build syncs through your Xbox/Microsoft account, so signing in on the new PC usually restores characters without copying files. The Steam/standalone build keeps data in Saved Games\Mojang Studios — copy that by hand. Close the game fully before swapping files so a later sync can't overwrite your restore.
Common mistakes
- Copying the wrong build's folder: the Store version lives under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages (sandboxed), not Saved Games\Mojang Studios. If Saved Games is empty, you have the Store build — use cloud sync.
- Characters are account-bound, so copy the whole <user-id> folder, not individual files, to keep everything intact.
FAQ
How do I move my Minecraft Dungeons II save to a new PC?
Copy the <user-id> folder from %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Mojang Studios\Dungeons2 (Steam/standalone build) to the same path on the new PC after installing and launching the game once. On Game Pass, sign into the same Microsoft account and let cloud sync restore your characters.
Does Minecraft Dungeons II use cloud saves?
The Microsoft Store / Game Pass build syncs through your Xbox/Microsoft account; the Steam/standalone build keeps data locally under Saved Games\Mojang Studios. Close the game fully before swapping files.
