Here's exactly where Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 keeps your campaign and progression saves on PC, and how to back them up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage\steam\user

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage\steam\user\<Steam ID>\ . Back up the whole Space Marine 2 folder to keep campaign and progression data together.

PlayStation 5 / PS4
Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data

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, Space Marine 2 uses Steam Cloud, so your progression syncs across machines with the same account. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose unlocked class progression.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
  3. Open Saber > Space Marine 2 > storage > steam > user > your Steam ID.
  4. Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Space Marine 2 save won’t load or says it’s corrupt

Close the game and verify integrity on Steam, then let Steam Cloud restore the last good copy. If a local file under \Saber\Space Marine 2\storage is broken, copy any adjacent backup over it before relaunching.

My Space Marine 2 save is missing or the folder is empty

The path nests deep — %LOCALAPPDATA%\Saber\Space Marine 2\storage\steam\user — so make sure you opened the steam\user sub-folder, not the parent storage folder. If it’s empty, Steam Cloud probably hasn’t synced yet; stay online and wait.

Space Marine 2 progress rolled back after a cloud conflict

When Steam (or the console) reports a save conflict, always keep the version with the LATER timestamp — picking the older cloud copy overwrites newer progress and is the #1 cause of “lost hours.” If unsure, disable cloud sync, back up the local folder first, then re-enable it and let it sync.
