Persona 3 Reload Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %APPDATA%\SEGA\P3R\Steam

Quick answer: On PC (Steam), Persona 3 Reload stores its saves in %APPDATA%\SEGA\P3R\Steam\<your-steam-id>\ as .sav files — that is C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P3R\Steam\<steam-id>\ . The internal folder is 'P3R'. It is NOT in the Steam install folder; the separate config lives under %LOCALAPPDATA%\P3R . Steam Cloud mirrors the save folder and syncs on launch/exit, so a corrupted or half-written .sav can overwrite your good cloud copy — copy the whole P3R folder before verifying files or moving PCs.

Persona 3 Reload on PC keeps its .sav saves under AppData\Roaming\SEGA, inside a numeric Steam-ID subfolder named P3R — not in the Steam install folder. Here is the exact PC path, how to open it, and how to back it up before a bad cloud sync.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%APPDATA%\SEGA\P3R\Steam

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P3R\Steam\<steam-id>\ . Saves are .sav files inside the numeric Steam-ID folder. Press Win+R and paste %APPDATA%\SEGA\P3R\Steam .

Windows (config)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\P3R\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Graphics/control settings live here, separate from the .sav saves. Back this up too if you want to keep your configuration.

Steam Cloud
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Steam Cloud keeps a mirrored copy and syncs on launch/exit. Coming back online or verifying files after a crash can pull the cloud copy down — see the cloud-conflict steps first.

Cloud saves

Persona 3 Reload uses Steam Cloud. It uploads the .sav files on exit, so a corrupted or half-written save can overwrite your good cloud copy the next launch, with no visible version history. Treat a manual copy of the AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P3R folder as your real backup, kept outside the game directory.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

The common loss is 'my progress rolled back' after a crash or a session on a second PC — the cloud synced an older or half-written save over the newer local one.

  1. Before relaunching after a crash, copy %APPDATA%\SEGA\P3R somewhere outside the game folder.
  2. If the cloud rolled your progress back, go offline / disable cloud sync for this game in its launcher before launching, so the bad cloud copy cannot sync down again.
  3. Restore your copied folder into the same path, launch once offline to confirm the right progress, then re-enable cloud so the good save uploads.
Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

One-line backup: paste this in Command Prompt to copy your whole Persona 3 Reload save folder to the Desktop before an update or PC move.

robocopy "%APPDATA%\SEGA\P3R" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\P3R-save-backup" /E

Run it with the game closed. To restore, swap the source and destination paths.

FAQ

Where is the Persona 3 Reload save file on PC?

In C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P3R\Steam\<steam-id>\ as .sav files — not in the Steam install folder. Press Win+R and paste %APPDATA%\SEGA\P3R\Steam .

Does Persona 3 Reload use Steam Cloud?

Yes. The .sav saves sync through Steam Cloud on launch and exit, so a bad local save can overwrite the good cloud copy — keep a manual copy of the SEGA\P3R folder as a real backup.

How do I move my Persona 3 Reload saves to a new PC?

Let Steam Cloud sync, or copy AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P3R to the same path on the new PC before first launch, keeping the numeric Steam-ID subfolder intact.

Why did my Persona 3 Reload progress roll back?

Usually a Steam Cloud conflict after a crash or a session on a second PC: an older .sav won the sync. Restore your folder backup, launch offline to confirm, then re-enable cloud.
