Where Are Battlefield 1 Save Files Located?
Battlefield 1 keeps campaign progress and settings together in a Documents folder synced through the EA App.
Last updated
Battlefield 1 stores its settings folder in Documents, carrying campaign progress and configuration together. The Frostbite engine makes no distinction worth worrying about, so one folder copy preserves everything local.
Multiplayer rank and unlocks live on EA servers, not on disk, which means local backups only matter for the campaign and options. Cloud sync runs through the EA App rather than Steam, even for Steam-bought copies.
Where Battlefield 1 stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Battlefield 1\settings
Campaign saves and settings together. Multiplayer progression is server-side, so this folder plus your EA account covers everything.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1238840/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Battlefield 1/settings
Proton prefix for Steam Deck and Linux desktops, app ID 1238840. Same Documents-based layout inside the prefix.
Frequently asked questions
Does Battlefield 1 use Steam Cloud?
Syncing runs through the EA App cloud, not Steam Cloud directly. Log into the same EA account on a new machine and settings follow, with the Documents folder as backup.
Where are Battlefield 1 screenshots saved?
In a Screenshots folder beside settings under Documents/Battlefield 1. Console screenshots land there too when using the built-in capture command.
