Where Are Dicey Dungeons Save Files Located?
Where Dicey Dungeons keeps saves and JSON settings on Windows, Mac and Linux, and what each file does.
Last updated
Dicey Dungeons keeps saves plus JSON settings in one flat folder per OS. Windows uses Roaming app data. Mac uses Application Support. Linux uses the XDG data home.
The settings and language files sit beside progress with no nesting to decode. That flat layout makes whole folder copies the only sane backup. Store builds break the pattern with an opaque container path that never mixes with Steam files. Episode clears and card unlocks share the save files, so copy them whole. Bonus round tickets accumulate in the same files across episodes.

Frequently asked questions
Should I back up saves or settings for Dicey Dungeons?
Back up the whole game folder for your OS since saves and JSON settings share it. Progress files sit beside the settings and language files with no subfolders. Restoring means dropping the same set back with the game closed.
Do Steam and Microsoft Store share Dicey Dungeons saves?
No. The Store Xbox build hides progress in a wgs container under its Packages folder, which never mixes with Steam files. Finish each version where you started it or accept a fresh run on the other store.
