Where Are Atomic Heart Save Files Located?
Where Atomic Heart keeps saves and ini settings on PC, and how the Steam path differs from Game Pass.
Last updated
Atomic Heart stores saves and settings under one LocalAppData tree on Windows. Save slots sit in Saved SaveGames. Graphics settings sit in Saved Config as ini files.
Steam and Game Pass builds diverge one level down. Steam uses WindowsNoEditor while Game Pass uses WinGDK. Match the folder to your store before editing, since tweaks in the wrong tree do nothing. Steam Cloud mirrors the Steam tree under AppID 668580, so pause sync before restoring older slots. Copy the tree with the game closed for safety.

%LOCALAPPDATA%\AtomicHeart\Saved\SaveGames

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Atomic Heart saves on Steam?
Copy the whole SaveGames folder to a safe place with the game closed. Steam Cloud mirrors this tree under AppID 668580, so pause sync before restoring older files. The WinGDK folder beside WindowsNoEditor belongs to Game Pass, not Steam.
Where is the Atomic Heart config file?
Check the Config WindowsNoEditor folder under Saved. GameUserSettings.ini and Engine.ini hold graphics and mouse settings as text. Game Pass builds use a WinGDK sibling instead, which explains guides that show a different path.
