Save File Location Explained

Discover the exact Dragon's Dogma 2 save file location on PC, Linux, and Mac. Learn how to back up your progress and manage your save data effectively.

Hey there, Arisen! So, you're looking to get your hands on your save files for Dragon's Dogma 2, huh? Maybe you want to back them up, or perhaps you're thinking about some 'save scumming' to get a different outcome. No worries, I've got your back. It's pretty straightforward once you know where to look on your PC.

On your Windows PC, the save files are tucked away in a specific folder. The most common path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\SteamAccountID\remote\win64\_save. Now, keep in mind that SteamAccountID is unique to your account. If you've installed Steam in a custom directory or on a different drive, that initial part might change, but the rest of the path should be similar. If you only have one Steam account on your PC, you'll likely only see one folder within the userdata directory.

For our friends on other operating systems:

• Linux: ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/SteamAccountID/remote/win64/_save
• MAC: ~/Library/Application Support

Once you navigate to that folder, you'll be looking for three specific files that make up your save data:

1. data000.bin
2. data001Slot.bin
3. data00-1.bin

These files represent your config bins, your main save files and slots, and your last inn save locations. Think of the whole folder as your save game. If you want to start fresh, you can copy this entire folder somewhere safe for backup and then delete the original files. Or, if you're planning to try something risky and want a safety net, back up this folder first. If things go south, you can just pop these files back in to restore your previous progress.

It's also good to know that Capcom is aware that players might want more than one save slot. They mentioned in a day 1 community update that they're looking into adding more playthrough slots. So, hopefully, managing saves won't require digging into these folders too much in the future!
