Where Are BioShock 2 Remastered Save Files Located?
BioShock 2 Remastered keeps saves in Documents BioshockHD, with config in AppData and hard cloud caps.
Last updated
BioShock 2 Remastered stores saves in Documents\BioshockHD\Bioshock2\SaveGames, with config files as Bioshock2*.ini in %APPDATA%\BioshockHD. Steam Cloud syncs up to 128 files or 512 MB, and the Epic build uses a My Games twin instead.
The cloud cap matters because Rapture runs long. Past 128 files sync stops silently while local saving continues, forking progress across machines. The Epic build uses its own My Games twin with separate limits. Linux runs through Proton under app ID 409720. Prune old saves in-game to stay under the cap.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up BioShock 2 with Minerva's Den?
Copy the whole Bioshock2 folder. Minerva's Den progress lives inside the same tree, so partial copies strand the DLC mid-story. Keep cloud on to stay under the file cap naturally.
Original BioShock 2 versus Remastered: do saves mix?
The purchase bundles both. The 2010 original uses its own older paths while the remaster uses BioshockHD. Saves never cross between them, so back up the tree matching the version you play.
