Last updated
Back 4 Blood is Unreal based with one profile file that matters. On Steam it lives in local AppData under a Back4Blood folder, inside a Steam subfolder, in SaveGames. The file started life as PlayerProfileSettings.sav and later gained a .json twin.
Game Pass builds ignore that path entirely and write into the packaged app folder under Local Packages, in coded wgs subfolders. Progress also syncs through each store cloud, but the local file is what stat trackers and manual backups read.
