Where Are Death of the Outsider Save Files Located?
Where Death of the Outsider keeps contract saves on Windows, apart from Dishonored 2 files.
Last updated
Death of the Outsider follows the Arkane Void engine pattern on PC: numbered save files with powers and contracts inside a title folder under Saved Games. The folder name differs from Dishonored 2, so check before assuming.
Steam Cloud syncs these files on desktop builds. The easiest backup is a copy of the title folder with the game closed. Cloud conflicts resolve toward the newest write, so pause sync during hand moves.
Where Dishonored: Death of the Outsider stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\dishonored_do\base
Numbered saves with powers and contracts in the title base folder. Confirm the folder name; it differs from Dishonored 2. Copy with the game closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Death of the Outsider saves?
Close the game and copy the whole title folder elsewhere with a date in the name. Saves travel as numbered files with powers and runes. Restoring means dropping the tree back before launch.
Do Dishonored 2 saves work in Death of the Outsider?
The standalone uses its own title folder beside the Dishonored 2 one. Saves never cross between the two games. Confirm the folder name on your machine; demo builds can differ.
