Octopath Traveler 2 Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-08

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Octopath_Traveler2\Steam\<id>\SaveGames

Quick answer: On PC (Steam), Octopath Traveler 2 stores saves at C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\Octopath_Traveler2\Steam\<your-id>\SaveGames\ . The fastest route is Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Octopath_Traveler2 and press Enter, then open Steam\<id>\SaveGames. Copy the whole Octopath_Traveler2 folder to back up every slot, including the auto-save.
Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Octopath_Traveler2\Steam\<id>\SaveGames
Windows (Game Pass / Microsoft Store)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages (packaged container)
Steam Cloud copy
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Octopath Traveler 2 keeps its saves in Documents under My Games, nested inside a Steam\<account-id> folder — a deeper path than most games, which is why it's hard to find by browsing. Here is the exact PC path, how to open it, and how to back it up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Octopath_Traveler2\Steam\<id>\SaveGames

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\Octopath_Traveler2\Steam\<your-numeric-id>\SaveGames\ . The <id> folder is your Steam account id.

Windows (Game Pass / Microsoft Store)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages (packaged container)

The Microsoft Store / Game Pass build wraps saves in a packaged app container under AppData\Local\Packages instead of Documents\My Games.

Steam Cloud copy
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

The Steam version syncs via Steam Cloud on launch/exit. A corrupted local save can overwrite the good cloud copy, so keep a manual backup.

Cloud saves

The Steam version of Octopath Traveler 2 syncs to Steam Cloud on launch and exit. Because a corrupted local save can overwrite the good cloud copy the next time you launch, treat a manual copy of the Octopath_Traveler2 folder as your real backup.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Common confusion/loss: saves look missing because the real path is nested deep under Steam\<id>\SaveGames, or progress rolls back after a crash when the cloud syncs an older save.

  1. Open %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Octopath_Traveler2 and drill into Steam\<id>\SaveGames — the nesting is why it looks missing.
  2. Before relaunching after a crash, copy the whole Octopath_Traveler2 folder somewhere safe.
  3. If the cloud rolled progress back, disable Steam Cloud for the game (or go offline), restore your save, launch once to confirm, then re-enable cloud.
Back up first (Windows) — copy & run
