...\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.

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.
