FAQ
How do I find where a game saves its files?
Type the game name in the finder above to get the exact Windows, macOS, Linux and console save path, then click Copy. Most PC games store saves under %LOCALAPPDATA%, %APPDATA%, or %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games in a folder named after the studio or game.
How do I back up a game save automatically?
Pick your game in the finder and copy the generated backup command. It uses the built-in Windows robocopy tool to copy your save folder into a dated SaveBackup folder on your Desktop. Nothing is deleted or overwritten in the original.
Where do PS5 and Xbox saves go?
Console saves are sealed and are not stored as loose files you can browse. On PS5 back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from Settings > Saved Data; on Xbox they sync to the cloud with your Microsoft account automatically.
Why can I not see the AppData folder?
AppData is hidden by default. Use Win + R and paste the %LOCALAPPDATA% or %APPDATA% variable instead of navigating by hand, or turn on Hidden items in the File Explorer View tab.
