How to transfer your Silent Hill 2 (Remake) save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\SilentHill2\Saved\SaveGames, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the entire SaveGames folder (your .sav slot files).
- Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Silent Hill 2 (Remake) on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Open the same path (%LOCALAPPDATA%\SilentHill2\Saved\SaveGames) on the new PC and paste your 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 PC — the Steam version uses Steam Cloud and your .sav files follow your Steam account. If Steam reports a cloud conflict after moving files, choose 'keep local' so your copied save wins.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting to close the game / let the cloud finish syncing before copying — a later sync can overwrite your restore.
- The Game Pass / Microsoft Store version stores saves in a Packages folder instead — that build cannot share saves with the Steam build.
