Save file locations

Windows (Steam / Epic)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Saints Row The Third

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Saints Row The Third\ . AppData is hidden — enable 'Show hidden files' or paste the path into the Run box.

Steam Cloud copy
Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\55230

55230 is the Steam app ID for Saints Row: The Third. Steam Cloud mirrors saves here across PCs.

PlayStation (PS3/PS4/PS5)
Settings › Saved Data and Game/App Settings › Saved Data

Console saves are sealed and can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.

Xbox (360 / One / Series X|S)
My games & apps › <Game> › Manage game › Saved data

Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your Microsoft account; there is no user-accessible save file on disk.

Cloud saves

Saints Row: The Third syncs through Steam Cloud, so saves follow your account (userdata\55230). If a sync overwrites progress, disable Steam Cloud for the game, restore the AppData\Local copy, then re-enable it.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %localappdata%\Saints Row The Third and press Enter.
  3. Copy the whole folder somewhere safe before verifying files or moving PCs.
  4. If nothing opens, enable 'Show hidden files' in File Explorer's View menu first.

Save problems & fixes

Saints Row: The Third save missing

Confirm you're looking in AppData\Local (not Documents) under the correct Windows user, with hidden files shown. If only the cloud copy remains, re-enable Steam Cloud to pull userdata\55230 back.

Save overwritten after launching on a new PC

Steam Cloud can push an older save down. Disable Steam Cloud for the game, copy your newer AppData\Local\Saints Row The Third folder back, then re-enable cloud.
