R.E.P.O. Save File Location
Here's exactly where R.E.P.O. keeps your co-op run on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before a crash wipes progress.
Save file locations
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves\ . LocalLow is hidden. Each run is its own numbered save folder inside.
Cloud saves
On PC, R.E.P.O. uses Steam Cloud, so your run syncs across machines on the same account. Close the game before restoring a backup, or Steam Cloud can overwrite your copy with the older online version on the next launch.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow and press Enter.
- Open semiwork > Repo > saves to find your run folders.
- 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\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves, 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\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves 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.
FAQ
Where is the R.E.P.O. save file on PC?
It's at C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves. Press Win+R, type %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow, then open semiwork\Repo\saves.
Does R.E.P.O. use Steam Cloud?
Yes. Your saves sync through Steam Cloud, but a local copy still lives in AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves. Close the game before swapping files so Cloud doesn't overwrite them.
How do I back up my R.E.P.O. save?
Copy the whole saves folder from AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo to a safe location, then paste it back to restore. Close the game first.
