Where Are Borderlands 3 Saves Located?
Borderlands 3 save folder in Documents My Games with numbered Vault Hunter files per account.
Last updated
Borderlands 3 continues the Gearbox convention of saving under Documents\My Games. Each Vault Hunter is a numbered .sav file inside an account folder under SaveGames.
Steam and Epic share the same parent but different account subfolders. Copy the whole Borderlands 3 folder and both storefronts plus profile data travel together.
Where Borderlands 3 stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 3\Saved\SaveGames
Characters are numbered .sav files inside your account ID subfolder, with profile.sav next to them. Config sits at Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor. Copy the full Borderlands 3 folder with the game closed. OneDrive redirecting Documents is a classic cause of lost Vault Hunters, so confirm the folder is local.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Borderlands 3 characters?
Copy the entire Borderlands 3 folder from My Games. Each numbered .sav is one Vault Hunter and profile.sav holds guardian rank and settings.
Can I move Borderlands 3 saves from Epic to Steam?
Yes. Paste the numbered .sav files into the Steam account subfolder under SaveGames. Keep a backup first because mismatched profiles can hide characters.
