Silent Hill 2 (Remake) Save File Location
Here's exactly where the Silent Hill 2 Remake stores your save on PC and console, how to open the folder, and how to back it up.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SilentHill2\Saved\SaveGames
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\SilentHill2\Saved\SaveGames\<user-id>\ . Saves are the .sav files inside the user-id folder.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\KonamiDigitalEntertainment...\SystemAppData
The Microsoft Store build sandboxes saves under the Packages\Konami... folder instead of the plain SilentHill2 folder.
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.
Cloud saves
On PC, Silent Hill 2 uses Steam Cloud, so your .sav files sync across machines with the same Steam account. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose progress.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %localappdata%\SilentHill2\Saved\SaveGames and press Enter.
- Open your user-id folder to see the .sav files.
- Copy the whole SaveGames folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.
Save problems & fixes
Silent Hill 2 save won't load or says it's corrupt
Close the game first, then restore a copy of your SaveGames folder. If you use both Steam and Game Pass builds, make sure you're editing the matching folder — they don't share saves.
