Metal Eden Save File Location

Quick answer: On PC, Metal Eden save files are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\MetalEden\Saved\SaveGames. Copy that folder to back up your progress before verifying files, updating, or moving to a new PC.

Here's exactly where Metal Eden keeps your run on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before a hard fight.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\MetalEden\Saved\SaveGames

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\MetalEden\Saved\SaveGames\ . AppData\Local is hidden — paste the path into the Run box.

Xbox Series X|S
My games & apps > <Game> > Manage game > Saved data

Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your Microsoft account; there is no user-accessible save file on disk.

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, Metal Eden uses Steam Cloud, so your SaveGames 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 %localappdata% and press Enter.
  3. Open MetalEden > Saved > SaveGames to find your save data.
  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 AppData\Local\MetalEden\Saved\SaveGames, 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 AppData\Local\MetalEden\Saved\SaveGames 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.
