Vampire Survivors Save File Location

Here's exactly where Vampire Survivors keeps your unlocks and progress on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back up before you reset or move machines.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%APPDATA%\Vampire_Survivors\saves

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\Vampire_Survivors\saves . The SaveData file is JSON protected by a SHA-256 checksum, so hand-edited saves can be rejected as invalid.

Windows (Epic Games)
%APPDATA%\Vampire_Survivors_EGS\<UserID>

Epic keeps a separate folder (Vampire_Survivors_EGS), so Steam and Epic progress never mix automatically.

Xbox / PlayStation / Switch
System save-data menu

Console saves are sealed and sync to the platform cloud; there is no raw file you can copy. Back up via the console's own cloud or storage menu.

Cloud saves

On PC the game uses Steam Cloud (or Epic cloud), so your saves folder syncs across machines on the same account. Close Vampire Survivors fully before swapping a save file, or the cloud may overwrite your backup with the older copy on next launch.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %appdata% and press Enter.
  3. Open the Vampire_Survivors folder (or Vampire_Survivors_EGS on Epic), then the saves folder.
  4. Copy the whole saves folder somewhere safe before resetting progress or moving PCs.

FAQ

Where is the Vampire Survivors save file on PC?

At C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\Vampire_Survivors\saves. Press Win+R, type %appdata%, then open Vampire_Survivors and the saves folder.

Why won't my edited save load?

The SaveData file is JSON with a SHA-256 checksum. If the checksum no longer matches the contents the game rejects the save, so manual edits often fail unless you recalculate the hash.

Do Steam and Epic share the same save?

No. Each store keeps its own folder (Vampire_Survivors vs Vampire_Survivors_EGS), so progress does not transfer between them automatically.
