How to transfer your Slay the Spire save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste ...\Steam\steamapps\common\SlayTheSpire\saves, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the saves folder (your run and unlock data); also copy the preferences folder to keep settings and daily progress.
- Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Slay the Spire on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Open the same path (...\Steam\steamapps\common\SlayTheSpire\saves) 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 — Steam Cloud syncs the saves and preferences folders across machines on the same account. Close Slay the Spire before copying files in, or the cloud may overwrite them.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting to close the game / let the cloud finish syncing before copying — a later sync can overwrite your restore.
- Because saves live inside the Steam install folder, a fresh install recreates it — install the game first on the new PC, then paste the saves folder in.
