Resident Evil 4 Remake Save File Location
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
...\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.
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.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R and paste C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata, then press Enter.
- Open the numeric SteamID folder > 2050650 > remote > win64_save.
- Copy the save files somewhere safe before New Game+ or moving PCs.
- 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.
