Where Are Detroit: Become Human Save Files Located?
Where Detroit: Become Human keeps its local saves in the Saved Games folder on PC, plus Steam Cloud.
Last updated
Detroit stores PC saves at %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Quantic Dream\Detroit Become Human, outside AppData entirely. Flowchart states, endings seen, and gallery progress all sit in that tree.
The Saved Games root is shared with other Quantic Dream ports, so one backup habit covers the studio. Shader caches live in the install folder and regenerate, which means only the Saved Games tree needs copying before a reinstall or GPU swap. The Epic build mirrors the same tree. Gallery unlocks travel with the flowchart files.
