Monster Hunter: World Save File Location

Here's exactly where Monster Hunter: World stores your hunter save on PC and consoles, how to open the folder, and how to back it up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
Steam\userdata\<SteamID3>\582010\remote

Full path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<your numeric ID>\582010\remote\ . The save file is named SAVEDATA1000. 582010 is Monster Hunter World's Steam app ID.

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 / Xbox One
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.

Cloud saves

On PC, Monster Hunter: World uses Steam Cloud (that's why the save lives under Steam\userdata). The save is tied to your Steam account; copying it to another account won't load because of the account binding.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %userprofile%\Documents and press Enter.
  3. Instead of Documents, browse to your Steam install > userdata > your ID > 582010 > remote.
  4. Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

FAQ

Where is the Monster Hunter World save on PC?

It's in your Steam folder: Steam\userdata\<your ID>\582010\remote\SAVEDATA1000. The default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata.

Why won't my copied MHW save load?

The save is bound to the Steam account that created it. A save copied from a different account is rejected, so it only works on the original account.

How do I back up my MHW hunter?

Copy the SAVEDATA1000 file from the 582010\remote folder to a safe location, then paste it back to restore.
