Here's exactly where Saints Row 2 keeps your saves on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back them up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam / GOG)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\THQ\Saints Row 2

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\THQ\Saints Row 2 . Save files have a .bbsave extension. AppData is hidden by default — enable 'Show hidden files' or use the %localappdata% shortcut.

Cloud saves

Saints Row 2 on PC stores saves locally under AppData\Local\THQ. Copy the Saints Row 2 folder to a safe location before reinstalling Windows or switching machines.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %localappdata%\THQ\Saints Row 2 and press Enter.
  3. Copy the whole folder (the .bbsave files) somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Saints Row 2 save won’t load or says it’s corrupt

Look for an automatic backup next to the save (a .bak or numbered copy) — close the game, copy that backup over the broken file, and reopen. On Steam, also right-click the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.

My Saints Row 2 save is missing or the folder is empty

You are usually looking in the wrong sub-folder — open the numbered Steam-ID / profile folder inside the path above, not the parent. If it is still empty on a GFWL-era game, the save may have been migrated to Steam’s userdata folder after a patch.

Saints Row 2 progress rolled back after a cloud/Steam conflict

When Steam reports a save conflict, keep the version with the LATER timestamp. Choosing the older cloud copy overwrites newer local progress — the most common cause of “lost hours.” If unsure, disable Steam Cloud, back up the local folder first, then re-enable it.
