Where Are Black Myth: Wukong Save Files Located?
Where Black Myth: Wukong keeps saves inside its own install folder, and why verifying files can threaten them.
Last updated
Black Myth: Wukong stores saves in b1\Saved\SaveGames inside its own install directory, one numbered subfolder per Steam account. That placement is unusual: most games keep saves far from the program files, while here they sit two folders deep in the game tree.
The practical consequence is uninstalls and integrity checks. Verifying files or uninstalling can disturb the same tree your progress lives in, so copy the SaveGames folder elsewhere before either. Steam Cloud keeps a mirror under app ID 2358720, which rescues clean reinstalls but can also overwrite local files with stale cloud copies.
Where Black Myth: Wukong stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BlackMythWukong\b1\Saved\SaveGames\[SteamID]
Replace the Steam root with your own library path. The numbered folder is your Steam account ID. Back this folder up before verifying integrity or uninstalling, since both operations touch the install tree.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2358720/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/BlackMythWukong/b1/Saved/SaveGames
Proton path for app ID 2358720. The Steam root varies by distro and Flatpak installs, so search under compatdata/2358720 for the b1 folder if this misses.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up my Black Myth: Wukong progress?
Copy the numbered folder out of SaveGames with the game closed. To restore, put it back and let Steam Cloud reconcile, keeping your local files when asked. Test the restore before deleting the backup.
Steam Cloud wiped my save. What happened?
Because Steam Cloud mirrors the same folder. If the cloud copy is older or empty, it can overwrite a good local save on launch. Back up the folder first, then check Steam > Settings > Cloud to see what synced and when.
