WARDOGS Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-09-27

Save file location (Windows (Steam) – main save): %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Wardogs\

Quick answer: WARDOGS saves your campaign progress LOCALLY on PC at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Wardogs\ . Some builds also write a settings/backup copy to %LOCALAPPDATA%Low\WARDOGS\SaveGames (AppData\LocalLow\WARDOGS\SaveGames). To move to a new PC, copy the whole Documents\My Games\Wardogs folder — progress is not tied to an online account.

WARDOGS stores your campaign save locally on PC. Here's exactly where it lives, how Steam Cloud can overwrite it, and how to move progress to a new machine.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam) – main save
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Wardogs\

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\My Games\Wardogs\ . This is the primary save folder — back this up before verifying files or reinstalling.

Windows (alt / settings)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\WARDOGS\SaveGames

A secondary folder some builds write to for settings and a save mirror. Also check %LOCALAPPDATA%\WARDOGS\SaveGames.

Steam Cloud
Steam userdata (synced automatically)

If Steam Cloud is enabled the save is mirrored under Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1867240\ . A bad cloud sync can overwrite a good local save — disable cloud before restoring an older backup.

PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series X|S
System save-data manager

Console saves live in the platform's save-data storage (PS5: Settings > Saved Data; Xbox: Manage games > Saved data) and sync to the platform cloud. No user-accessible file on disk.

Cloud saves

WARDOGS uses Steam Cloud on PC, so your save is mirrored to Steam's servers and downloaded on any machine you log into. The catch: if Steam Cloud has an older or empty copy after a crash, it can overwrite your good local save on next launch. Before restoring a backup or moving PCs, set the game to offline / disable Steam Cloud for WARDOGS, copy your Documents\My Games\Wardogs folder, then re-enable.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Wardogs and press Enter.
  3. Copy the entire Wardogs folder to a USB drive or cloud storage to back up your campaign.
  4. To move to a new PC: install WARDOGS, launch once so the folder is created, close the game, then paste your backed-up files over the new Wardogs folder.

FAQ

Where is the WARDOGS save file on PC?

The main save is at C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\My Games\Wardogs\ . Some builds also keep a copy at AppData\LocalLow\WARDOGS\SaveGames and, if Steam Cloud is on, under Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1867240\ .

How do I transfer WARDOGS progress to a new PC?

Copy your Documents\My Games\Wardogs folder to the new machine. Install and launch WARDOGS once to create the folder, close the game, then paste your files over it. Disable Steam Cloud first so it doesn't overwrite the restored save.

Why did my WARDOGS progress reset?

Most resets are a Steam Cloud conflict — an older or empty cloud save overwrote your local one. Check Documents\My Games\Wardogs for a recent file; if it's there, disable Steam Cloud for WARDOGS and relaunch to force the local save to be used.
