Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %APPDATA%\Sega\LikeADragon8\Steam

Quick answer: On PC (Steam), Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth stores its saves in %APPDATA%\Sega\LikeADragon8\Steam\<your-steam-id>\ โ€” that is C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Sega\LikeADragon8\Steam\<steam-id>\ , with each save slot in its own subfolder. It is NOT in the Steam install folder; the internal codename for Infinite Wealth is 'LikeADragon8'. Steam Cloud mirrors the folder and syncs on launch/exit, so a corrupted or half-written save can overwrite your good cloud copy โ€” copy the whole folder before verifying files or moving PCs.
Windows (Steam)
%APPDATA%\Sega\LikeADragon8\Steam
Steam Cloud
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on PC keeps its saves under AppData\Roaming\Sega in a folder named LikeADragon8 (its internal codename), inside a numeric Steam-ID subfolder โ€” not in the Steam install folder. Here is the exact PC path, how to open it, and how to back it up before a bad cloud sync.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%APPDATA%\Sega\LikeADragon8\Steam

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Sega\LikeADragon8\Steam\<steam-id>\ . The numeric subfolder is your Steam ID; save slots sit in separate folders inside it. Paste %APPDATA%\Sega\LikeADragon8\Steam into Explorer.

Steam Cloud
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Steam Cloud keeps a mirrored copy and syncs on launch/exit. Coming back online or verifying files after a crash can pull the cloud copy down โ€” see the cloud-conflict steps first.

Cloud saves

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth uses Steam Cloud. It uploads on exit, so a corrupted or half-written save can overwrite your good cloud copy the next launch, with no visible version history. Treat a manual copy of the AppData\Roaming\Sega\LikeADragon8 folder as your real backup, kept outside the game directory.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

The common loss is 'my progress rolled back' after a crash or a session on a second PC โ€” Steam Cloud synced an older or half-written save over the newer local one.

  1. Before relaunching after a crash, copy %APPDATA%\Sega\LikeADragon8 somewhere outside the game folder.
  2. If the cloud rolled your progress back, go offline in Steam (or disable Steam Cloud for Infinite Wealth in its Properties) before launching, so the bad cloud copy cannot sync down again.
  3. Restore your copied folder into the same AppData path, launch once offline to confirm the right progress, then re-enable Steam Cloud so the good save uploads.
Back up first (Windows) โ€” copy & run

One-line backup: paste this in Command Prompt to copy your whole Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth save folder to the Desktop before an update or PC move.

robocopy "%APPDATA%\Sega\LikeADragon8" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\InfiniteWealth-save-backup" /E

Run it with the game closed. To restore, swap the source and destination paths.
