Where Are Everspace Save Files Located?
Everspace keeps saves in AppData\Local\RSG\Saved\SaveGames on PC (Epic RSG tree on Mac, .config on Linux), with Everspace 2 using ES2 and Game Pass wgs folders.
Last updated
Everspace 1 and 2 use different folders despite sharing a series name. The first game saves under RSG in Local with Epic and config variants on Mac and Linux. The sequel uses ES2 on Steam and hashed container folders for Game Pass builds.
Store splits explain most confusion. Steam, Game Pass, and per OS cloud buckets all keep separate copies that never merge alone. Manual moves mean matching file names to the target build, since each store names saves differently.
Where Everspace stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\RSG\Saved\SaveGames
Everspace 1 saves plus logs for bug reports. ES2 uses the ES2 sibling instead. Game Pass builds hide in Packages wgs containers.
~/Library/Application Support/Epic/RSG/Saved/SaveGames
Mac variant of the RSG tree under Epic support folders. Reach with Finder Go to Folder. Same backup rules as PC.
~/.config/Epic/RSG/Saved/Savegames
Linux native tree in config home. Proton builds mirror the Windows RSG path inside the prefix instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Everspace 2 Game Pass saves to Steam?
Start a Steam run past the tutorial to create folders, then copy Game Pass saves over with Steam style names including .sav. Match the bigger save file, not preview files. Manual save once after loading to normalize.
How do I back up Everspace saves?
Copy the RSG or ES2 SaveGames folder with the game closed. Cloud covers Steam copies but per OS buckets can split Deck and PC saves. Proton runs of the Windows build reuse the same tree.
