Where Are Big Walk Save Files Located?
Big Walk host-owned saves on Windows and macOS, where Unity puts the .sav files and how to move hosting.
Last updated
Big Walk (Steam AppID 1478500) autosaves on the host computer only. Guests carry no world state. Unity stores the data under House House/Big Walk/user_data with .sav files inside save_games.
Steam Cloud mirrors that tree with a 20 MB quota. macOS uses Application Support instead of LocalLow. The manual copy between hosts is community tested, not an in game handover. Back up before experimenting.
Where Big Walk stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\House House\Big Walk\user_data\save_games
Paste the path into Explorer or Run. Host owns the world, so only this folder matters for migration. SteamDB lists AppID 1478500 syncing House House/Big Walk/user_data.
~/Library/Application Support/House House/Big Walk/user_data/save_games
SteamDB macOS override for the same Unity tree. Copy host files here with the game closed. Console and Switch saves stay in platform storage, not this folder.
Frequently asked questions
How do I transfer Big Walk hosting to another PC?
Close the game on both PCs and copy the host save_games folder contents into the same folder on the new host. Keep both backups until the world opens as hostable. Steam Cloud may fight the copy, so test offline first.
How do I back up Big Walk progress?
Copy the whole save_games folder with the game closed. Files are small JSON style slots. Single file copies work, but the set stays consistent when you keep siblings together.
