Here's exactly where the Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023) keeps your PC saves on Steam, how to open the folder, and how to back them up before New Game+.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
...\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2050650\remote\win64_save

Full path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2050650\remote\win64_save\ . 2050650 is the Resident Evil 4 (2023) app ID. If the numeric SteamID folder is unclear, pick the most recently modified one.

PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series
System save-data menu

Console saves are sealed and can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to cloud (PS Plus / Xbox) or a USB drive from the console's saved-data menu.

Cloud saves

The Steam version uses Steam Cloud, so your save follows your Steam account across machines. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose progress or unlocks.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Resident Evil 4 (2023) on Steam syncs win64_save through Steam Cloud, so a conflict dialog can appear if you played offline or on another PC. The save is a set of .bin files that do NOT merge — picking the older copy overwrites newer progress, weapon upgrades and unlocked bonuses. PS5/Xbox saves are sealed and only back up through the console cloud or a USB drive.

  1. When Steam reports a cloud conflict, choose Cancel/Play Later so nothing overwrites until you verify which copy is newer.
  2. Back up the local copy: open C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2050650\remote\win64_save and copy it somewhere safe (2050650 is the RE4 2023 app ID).
  3. Exact backup command (Windows CMD): robocopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2050650\remote\win64_save" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\RE4RBackup" /E
  4. Compare timestamps: check the modified date of the .bin files against your last real session on the other PC — the most recent is your true run.
  5. In the Steam dialog pick "Upload to Steam Cloud" if your local save is newer, or "Download" if the cloud copy is newer.
  6. To edit or transfer safely, first set Steam → game Properties → turn OFF 'Keep saves in the Steam Cloud', or Steam may re-sync and overwrite your local win64_save.
Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

RE4 Remake stores saves in Steam's userdata tree, which Steam Cloud can overwrite with an older copy. Back up the game's remote folder before verifying files:

robocopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2050650\remote" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\RE4Remake-Save-Backup" /E

Replace <SteamID> with your numeric account id (the only folder under userdata if you have one account). 2050650 is RE4 Remake's app id. Disable Steam Cloud for the game before restoring an older backup.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R and paste C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata, then press Enter.
  2. Open the numeric SteamID folder > 2050650 > remote > win64_save.
  3. Copy the save files somewhere safe before New Game+ or moving PCs.
  4. Paste them back into win64_save to restore.

Save problems & fixes

RE4 Remake save won't load or is corrupt

Steam keeps a cloud copy — close the game fully, verify files (right-click Resident Evil 4 > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity), and let Steam re-download the valid save. If a local file is broken, delete only that file so Steam Cloud restores the last good copy.

My Resident Evil 4 save is missing after reinstalling

Confirm the right path: Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2050650\remote\win64_save. If Steam is on another drive, use Steam > Settings > Storage to find the install path. As long as Steam Cloud was on, launching online should re-sync your save.

I want to move my RE4 save to a new PC

With Steam Cloud on, just log into Steam on the new PC and launch the game online. To move manually, copy the win64_save folder contents to the same 2050650\remote\win64_save path on the new machine.
