Metaphor: ReFantazio Save File Location

Quick answer: On PC (Steam), Metaphor: ReFantazio save files are stored in %APPDATA%\SEGA\METAPHOR\Steam\<SteamID>. Copy the whole METAPHOR folder to back up your progress before modding or moving to a new PC.

Here's exactly where Metaphor: ReFantazio stores your save on every platform, how to open the folder, and how to back it up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%APPDATA%\SEGA\METAPHOR\Steam\<SteamID>

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\METAPHOR\Steam\<SteamID>\ . Your saves are the .sav files inside the numbered Steam ID folder.

Windows (Microsoft Store / Xbox PC)
%APPDATA%\SEGA\METAPHOR\Microsoft

The Microsoft Store build keeps saves in a separate Microsoft subfolder next to the Steam one — pick the right one if you have both.

PlayStation 5 / PS4
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.

Xbox Series X|S
My games & apps > Metaphor: ReFantazio > Manage game > Saved data

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

Cloud saves

On PC, Metaphor: ReFantazio uses Steam Cloud, so your .sav files sync across machines with the same Steam account. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose progress.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %appdata%\SEGA\METAPHOR and press Enter.
  3. Open the Steam folder, then your numbered Steam ID folder.
  4. Copy the whole METAPHOR folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Metaphor: ReFantazio save data is gone or won't load

Check you opened the correct subfolder — Steam and Microsoft Store builds use separate folders under %APPDATA%\SEGA\METAPHOR. Also verify Steam Cloud finished syncing before you launch.
