Quick answer: On PC, Stellar Blade saves live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SB\Saved\SaveGames\<Steam ID> โ€” the main file is StellarBladeSave00.sav. Saves sync through Steam Cloud. On PS5 the save is sealed โ€” back it up via PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from Saved Data settings.
Windows (Steam)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SB\Saved\SaveGames\<Steam ID>
Steam userdata (secondary copy)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<account id>\3489700
PlayStation 5
Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data (PS5)

Here's exactly where Stellar Blade keeps your saves on PC, the StellarBladeSave00.sav file inside AppData, how to open that folder, and how to back it up before editing or moving PCs.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SB\Saved\SaveGames\<Steam ID>

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\SB\Saved\SaveGames\<Steam ID>\ . The main save is StellarBladeSave00.sav. AppData is hidden โ€” enable 'Hidden items' in Explorer. Steam App ID is 3489700.

Steam userdata (secondary copy)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<account id>\3489700

Steam keeps a second synced copy here for Steam Cloud; both copies stay in sync when you launch and close the game.

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.

Cloud saves

On PC, Stellar Blade syncs through Steam Cloud, so your save follows your Steam account across machines. Steam mirrors the file in both %LOCALAPPDATA%\SB\Saved\SaveGames and the Steam userdata folder โ€” if the two conflict after offline play, keep the newer StellarBladeSave00.sav so you don't roll back progress.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %localappdata%\SB\Saved\SaveGames and press Enter.
  3. Open your Steam-ID folder โ€” StellarBladeSave00.sav is inside.
  4. Copy the whole folder somewhere safe before editing or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Stellar Blade save not loading or missing after an update

Close the game, verify files on Steam (Properties โ†’ Installed Files โ†’ Verify integrity), and check the Steam userdata\<account id>\3489700 folder for a good copy. Restore StellarBladeSave00.sav from your backup over the broken file before relaunching.

Progress didn't carry over to a second PC

Confirm Steam Cloud is enabled for Stellar Blade and let the game fully exit on the first PC so the save uploads before you launch on the second.
