Where Are Chrono Trigger Save Files Located?
Chrono Trigger Steam saves sit in Documents\My Games\Chrono Trigger, with a Proton path on Deck and Linux.
Last updated
The Steam version of Chrono Trigger keeps saves and settings together in a My Games folder inside Documents. One folder copy backs up every era of the run at once.
Cloud saves for this port have a shaky reputation, with players reporting overwrites. Keep your own copy of the folder regardless of sync status, especially before starting New Game Plus.
Where Chrono Trigger stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Chrono Trigger
Saves plus display settings in one folder. Back it up whole with the game closed. If cloud sync misbehaves, a local copy is the only version you control.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/613830/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Chrono Trigger
Proton prefix, app ID 613830. Same folder mirrored inside. On Deck, use desktop mode with hidden files shown to reach it.

Only with a local backup beside it. Players have reported cloud overwrites eating progress. Treat your folder copy as the real save and the cloud as a convenience.
