Marvel Rivals Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-09-30

Save file location (Windows (settings)): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows

Quick answer: Marvel Rivals has no local progress save file. Your level, rank, hero unlocks, skins and battle pass are stored server-side against your NetEase / platform account, so they follow you to any PC when you log in and can't be backed up or edited locally. What IS stored on your PC is configuration: settings and video options are in C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows\ (GameUserSettings.ini), and keybinds are in the nested C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Saved\Config\ (MarvelUserSetting.ini). To reset a broken UI or bad keybinds, back up and delete those .ini files — the game rebuilds defaults on next launch.

Account progress (all platforms)
Server-side — NetEase / platform account

Searching for a Marvel Rivals 'save file' on your PC will come up empty for one reason: your hero unlocks and rank live on NetEase's servers, tied to your account, not on your disk. What IS local is your settings and keybinds. Here is exactly where each piece lives.

Save file locations

Windows (settings)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows\ . GameUserSettings.ini holds resolution, graphics and audio. Unreal Engine 5 game, so the folder is 'Marvel', not 'Marvel Rivals'.

Windows (keybinds)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Marvel\Saved\Saved\Config

The doubled \Saved\Saved\ is intentional; MarvelUserSetting.ini here stores per-hero keybinds. Deleting it resets controls to default.

Windows (recordings / crash logs)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Marvel\Saved\VideoRecords

Highlight clips land in VideoRecords; crash dumps are in the neighbouring \Crashes folder — useful when reporting a bug, not part of your save.

Account progress (all platforms)
Server-side — NetEase / platform account

Rank, unlocks, skins and battle pass live on the server. There is no file to copy; logging in on PC, PS5 or Xbox with the same linked account restores everything.

Cloud saves

Because Marvel Rivals is an online live-service game, the meaningful 'save' is entirely cloud/server-side and account-bound. There is nothing to sync manually and nothing to lose on reinstall — the only local data is settings, which Steam can also mirror via Cloud for the config folder.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

There is no progress conflict to resolve (it's all server-side), but a corrupt local GameUserSettings.ini can cause crashes on launch, a black screen, or reset controls — the fix is to clear the local config, not to hunt for a save file.

  1. Fully quit Marvel Rivals (and Steam Cloud if the config syncs) before touching the .ini files.
  2. Open C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows and back up GameUserSettings.ini elsewhere.
  3. Delete GameUserSettings.ini (and MarvelUserSetting.ini for keybinds) — the game regenerates clean defaults on next launch, which fixes most launch crashes and stuck resolutions.
  4. Log back in: your rank, heroes and skins are untouched because they were never local in the first place.

FAQ

Where is the Marvel Rivals save file on PC?

There isn't a local save file for progress — rank, heroes and skins are stored on NetEase's servers against your account. Only settings are local, at C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows (GameUserSettings.ini).

Can I back up or transfer my Marvel Rivals progress?

No file to back up — progress is account-bound. Log into the same linked account on any PC or console and everything is there. You can back up local settings from the Marvel\Saved\Config folder if you want your keybinds/graphics to follow you.

How do I fix Marvel Rivals crashing or reset my keybinds?

Delete the local config: GameUserSettings.ini in Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows, and MarvelUserSetting.ini in Marvel\Saved\Saved\Config. The game rebuilds defaults on next launch; your account progress is unaffected.

Where are my Marvel Rivals recordings saved?

Highlight clips are in C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\VideoRecords.
