Here's exactly where Saints Row: The Third keeps your saves on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back them up before you reinstall or move to a new PC.
Save file locations
%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\userdata\<SteamID>\55230
55230 is the Steam app ID for Saints Row: The Third. Steam Cloud mirrors saves here across PCs.
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.
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
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %localappdata%\Saints Row The Third and press Enter.
- Copy the whole folder somewhere safe before verifying files or moving PCs.
- 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.
