Where Are Alien: Isolation Save Files Located?
Alien: Isolation saves per store build, with Steam userdata, GOG documents, and Epic local paths plus cloud sync.
Last updated
Alien: Isolation splits saves by storefront. Steam uses its userdata tree under app 214490 remote, with configs in local beside it. GOG uses Documents My Games. Epic uses Local AppData under The Creative Assembly. Same game, three homes.
Only two manual slots exist plus one chapter checkpoint, and loading a chapter overwrites the manual file. That design punishes save scumming the xenomorph. Back up the right store folder before Nightmare runs so a death spiral never costs the campaign.
