Here's exactly where Stranded Deep stores each save slot on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back up a slot — important because saves are local, not cloud.
Save file locations
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Beam Team Games\Stranded Deep\Data
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\LocalLow\Beam Team Games\Stranded Deep\Data . Each world is a Slot folder; Slot0 is in-game 'Save Slot 1', Slot1 is 'Slot 2', and so on.
Cloud saves
Stranded Deep's PC save does not reliably use Steam Cloud — players regularly report slots existing only locally in the LocalLow Data folder. Treat the Slot folders as the only copy: copy the whole Slot folder before updating or moving PCs, not just one file.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Beam Team Games\Stranded Deep\Data and press Enter.
- Copy the entire Slot folder (e.g. Slot0) for the world you want to keep.
- Back up before every major update — saves are local.
Save problems & fixes
My Stranded Deep save disappeared
Check %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Beam Team Games\Stranded Deep\Data for the Slot folder. Since there's no reliable cloud copy, restore your manual backup of that Slot folder if it's missing or corrupted.
New PC has no saves
Because saves are local, copy the Slot folders from the old PC's LocalLow Data folder into the same path on the new PC before launching.
FAQ
Where is the Stranded Deep save on PC?
C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\LocalLow\Beam Team Games\Stranded Deep\Data, then the Slot folder (Slot0 = Save Slot 1).
Which Slot folder is my save?
Slot0 is in-game 'Save Slot 1', Slot1 is 'Slot 2', etc. Back up the whole Slot folder, not individual files.
Does Stranded Deep sync to Steam Cloud?
Not dependably on PC — many players find saves only in the local LocalLow Data folder, so keep your own backup of the Slot folder.
