Lost Soul Aside Save File Location

Quick answer: On PC, Lost Soul Aside save files are stored in %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\LostSoulAside\<user-id>. Copy that folder to back up your progress before updating or moving to a new PC.

Here's exactly where Lost Soul Aside keeps your progress on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before a tough boss.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\LostSoulAside\<user-id>

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\LostSoulAside\<user-id>\ . The <user-id> is your account folder — back up the whole LostSoulAside folder to keep every slot.

PlayStation 5
Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data

Console saves are sealed and can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.

Cloud saves

On PC, Lost Soul Aside uses Steam Cloud, so your save folder syncs across machines on the same account. Close the game before restoring a backup so Steam Cloud doesn't overwrite it with the older online copy on the next launch.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %userprofile%\Saved Games and press Enter.
  3. Open LostSoulAside > your <user-id> folder to find your saves.
  4. Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Cloud save overwrote my newer local save (or vice-versa)

This happens when Steam Cloud syncs on launch before you restore a backup. Fully quit the game, disable Steam Cloud for it, copy your good save into Saved Games\LostSoulAside\<user-id>, launch once offline to confirm it loads, then re-enable cloud so it uploads the correct copy.

Save is missing, won't load, or shows as corrupted

Verify the game files first, then look in Saved Games\LostSoulAside\<user-id> for a backup or older copy (many games keep a .bak or a numbered rolling backup next to the live save). Copy that older file over the broken one while the game is closed. Never edit the save with the game running — that is the most common cause of corruption.
