Space Marine 2 Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-09-21

Quick answer: On PC, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 saves live in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage\steam\user\<Steam ID>. The game autosaves only (no manual save) and syncs through Steam Cloud. On PS5 and Xbox the save is sealed — back it up via console cloud or a USB/external drive.

Windows (Steam): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage\steam\user\<Steam ID>
Windows (Epic / Game Pass PC): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage
PlayStation 5: Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data (PS5)
Xbox Series X|S: Xbox cloud save (automatic) / Manage game > Saved data

Here's exactly where Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 keeps your saves on PC, how to open the folder under AppData, and how to back them up — which matters because the game only autosaves.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage\steam\user\<Steam ID>

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage\steam\user\<Steam ID>\ . AppData is hidden by default — enable 'Hidden items' in Explorer's View tab. Steam App ID is 2183900.

Windows (Epic / Game Pass PC)

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage

The launcher subfolder under \storage differs (epic / xgp instead of steam), but the parent Saber\Space Marine 2\storage folder is the same.

PlayStation 5

Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data (PS5)

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 Series X|S

Xbox cloud save (automatic) / Manage game > Saved data

Xbox saves sync to the Xbox cloud tied to your account; there is no user-accessible file to copy.

Cloud saves

On PC, Space Marine 2 syncs through Steam Cloud (and the equivalent Epic/Game Pass cloud), so your campaign and Operations progress follow your account across machines. The game only autosaves, so if a cloud and local copy conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy — there is no manual save slot to fall back on.

How to open the save folder

Press Win + R to open the Run box.
Type %localappdata%\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage and press Enter.
Open the launcher folder (steam), then your user-ID folder.
Copy the whole folder somewhere safe before modding, editing, or moving PCs — the game won't let you re-save manually if it breaks.

Save problems & fixes

Space Marine 2 save won't load or resets progress

Close the game fully, then verify files on Steam (Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity). If Steam Cloud pushed an older copy, disable cloud sync for the game, restore your local backup from AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage, then re-enable it.

Progress not syncing between two PCs

Make sure Steam Cloud is enabled (Properties → General → 'Keep games saves in the Steam Cloud') and let the game fully close on the first PC before launching on the second, so the autosave uploads.

FAQ

Where is the Space Marine 2 save file on PC?

At C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage\steam\user\<Steam ID>. Press Win+R, type %localappdata%\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage, then open your launcher and user-ID folders.

Does Space Marine 2 use Steam Cloud?

Yes. PC saves sync through Steam Cloud, so progress follows your Steam account. Because the game only autosaves, keep the newer copy if Steam reports a conflict.

Can I back up my Space Marine 2 save?

Yes on PC — copy the user-ID folder under AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage to a safe place, then paste it back to restore. On PS5/Xbox the save is sealed; back it up via console cloud or USB instead.

Does Space Marine 2 have manual saves?

No. It relies entirely on autosave (checkpoints and mission completion). That's why a file backup before modding is the only real safety net.
