How to Transfer Your V Rising Save to a New PC
Move your V Rising save to a new PC — the exact folder to copy, cloud-sync notes, and the mistakes that lose progress.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Saves\v4
Copy the entire save folder from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Saves\v4 on your old PC to the exact same path on the new PC — that folder is your whole V Rising progress.
Where the files live: see the full V Rising save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your V Rising save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Saves\v4, and press Enter to open the V Rising save folder.
- Select everything inside that folder and copy it to a USB drive, a cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or a network share.
- Install V Rising on the new PC and launch it once, then quit — this creates the empty save folder so the path exists.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Saves\v4) and paste the copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch V Rising and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
On PC, V Rising uses Steam Cloud for single-player worlds, so they sync across machines with the same account. Always copy (never move) the world folder — V Rising will refuse to load saves that were moved out of the Saves folder.
Common mistakes
- Copying only a single save file instead of the whole folder — many games keep settings, profiles, or rolling backups alongside the main save.
- Forgetting to launch V Rising once on the new PC first, so the destination folder doesn't exist yet when you paste.
