How to Transfer Your Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Game Saves
Copy the whole save folder at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Game Saves (files end in .sav) from the old PC to the exact same path on the new PC — those are your Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord saves.
Where the files live: see the full Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Game Saves, 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 Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Match your mods, DLC, and game version on the new PC before loading, or a modded/DLC save may refuse to load.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Game Saves) 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?
On PC, Steam Cloud backs up Bannerlord saves when enabled. The Microsoft Store/Game Pass version stores saves under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\TaleWorldsEntertainment...\SystemAppData\wgs instead, and console saves live in the platform cloud.
Common mistakes
- Mod-heavy saves: a save made with mods will crash or fail to load if the new PC lacks the same mods and versions.
- Microsoft Store version users looking in Documents — that build uses the AppData\Packages\...\wgs path instead.
