Mafia: The Old Country Save File Location
Here's exactly where Mafia: The Old Country keeps your save files on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before an update or a new PC.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Hangar 13 Games\Mafia The Old Country\SaveGames\<user-id>
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Hangar 13 Games\Mafia The Old Country\SaveGames\<user-id>\*.sav . AppData\Local is hidden — paste %LOCALAPPDATA% into Run.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/1941540/pfx/
Under Proton the Hangar 13 Games folder lives inside the game's compatdata prefix (app id 1941540).
Console Settings > Saved Data
Console saves are sealed; back them up to PS Plus / Xbox cloud or external storage from the system menu.
Cloud saves
On PC Mafia: The Old Country uses Steam Cloud. Quit the game before restoring a backup so Steam Cloud uploads your restored .sav rather than re-downloading the older online copy on the next launch.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Paste the folder path shown above (for example %LOCALAPPDATA% or %APPDATA%) and press Enter.
- Open the Mafia: The Old Country save folder to find your save data.
- 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 the cloud syncs on launch before you restore a backup. Fully quit Mafia: The Old Country, disable cloud saves for it (Steam: right-click > Properties > General), copy your good save into the save folder above, launch once 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 the save folder 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 a save with the game running — that is the most common cause of corruption.
FAQ
Where is the Mafia: The Old Country save file on PC?
On Steam it's at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hangar 13 Games\Mafia The Old Country\SaveGames\<user-id>. Press Win+R and paste the environment-variable path (e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA% or %APPDATA%) to open the folder.
How do I back up my Mafia: The Old Country save?
Copy the whole save folder shown above to a safe location, then paste it back to restore. Close the game first so cloud sync doesn't overwrite it.
Does the Steam and Game Pass / console version share saves?
No. Different stores (Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, consoles) keep Mafia: The Old Country saves in separate folders or sealed cloud containers, so progress does not transfer automatically between them.
