Where Are DOOM: The Dark Ages Save Files Located?
Where DOOM: The Dark Ages keeps saves per profile on Steam and Windows Store, in id Software tradition.
Last updated
DOOM: The Dark Ages continues the id pattern from Eternal: Steam saves live under userdata filed by app ID 3017860, one remote folder per profile. Windows Store copies use Saved Games\id Software\DOOMTheDarkAges\base\savegame instead, per the official Bethesda support page.
Profile folders inside remote make multi user machines legible: each profile is its own directory rather than a slot in a shared file. Back up at the 3017860 level to catch every profile plus the config that sits alongside them.
Where DOOM: The Dark Ages stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[SteamID]\3017860\remote
Replace the Steam root with your library path and the ID with your account number. Each profile is a subfolder of remote. Windows Store builds use %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\id Software\DOOMTheDarkAges\base\savegame instead.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3017860/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/[SteamID]/3017860/remote
Proton path for app ID 3017860. Search under compatdata/3017860 if your Steam root differs. Copy with the game fully closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up all my DOOM: The Dark Ages profiles?
Copy the whole 3017860 folder with the game and Steam closed. It holds every profile at once. Restore to the same userdata path on the new machine and let Steam Cloud reconcile, keeping local files when asked.
Can I move a save from Game Pass to Steam?
No. Steam builds save under userdata/3017860/remote and Store builds under Saved Games\id Software, with incompatible layouts. Progress does not transfer between the two without third party tools, and Bethesda support treats them as separate games.
