Silent Hill f Save File Location
Here's exactly where Silent Hill f keeps your save files on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before an update or a new PC.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SHf\Saved\SaveGames\<user-id>
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\SHf\Saved\SaveGames\<user-id>\*.sav . Bonus/pre-order content saves sit in a separate SHf_BonusContent\Saved\SaveGames folder. AppData\Local is hidden — paste %LOCALAPPDATA% into Run.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\KonamiDigitalEntertainmen.SILENTHILLf*\SystemAppData\wgs
The Microsoft Store build stores saves in its package folder under AppData\Local\Packages in an opaque wgs container.
Console Settings > Saved Data
Console saves are sealed; back them up to PS Plus / Xbox cloud or external storage from the system menu.
Cloud saves
On Steam Silent Hill f uses Steam Cloud, so the SHf SaveGames folder syncs across machines. Quit the game before restoring a backup so Steam Cloud uploads your restored .sav rather than re-downloading the older online copy on next launch.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Paste the folder path shown above (for example %LOCALAPPDATA% or %APPDATA%) and press Enter.
- Open the Silent Hill f save folder to find your save data.
- Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.
Save problems & fixes
Cloud save overwrote my newer local save (or vice-versa)
This happens when the cloud syncs on launch before you restore a backup. Fully quit Silent Hill f, disable cloud saves for it (Steam: right-click > Properties > General), copy your good save into the save folder above, launch once to confirm it loads, then re-enable cloud so it uploads the correct copy.
Save is missing, won't load, or shows as corrupted
Verify the game files first, then look in the save folder for a backup or older copy (many games keep a .bak or a numbered rolling backup next to the live save). Copy that older file over the broken one while the game is closed. Never edit a save with the game running — that is the most common cause of corruption.
FAQ
Where is the Silent Hill f save file on PC?
On Steam it's at %LOCALAPPDATA%\SHf\Saved\SaveGames\<user-id>. Press Win+R and paste the environment-variable path (e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA% or %APPDATA%) to open the folder.
How do I back up my Silent Hill f save?
Copy the whole save folder shown above to a safe location, then paste it back to restore. Close the game first so cloud sync doesn't overwrite it.
Does the Steam and Game Pass / console version share saves?
No. Different stores (Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, consoles) keep Silent Hill f saves in separate folders or sealed cloud containers, so progress does not transfer automatically between them.
