Where Are Far Cry 5 Save Files Located?
Far Cry 5 saves Hope County progress as 1.save pairs in folder 4311 under Ubisoft savegames on Windows.
Last updated
Far Cry 5 keeps one save slot: 1.save and 2.save pairs inside folder 4311 under your Ubisoft account-ID folder (Uplay-only builds use 1803). Starting over overwrites the same files.
Single-slot design makes pre-emptive copies the whole strategy. Archive the 4311 folder before endings or co-op sessions you might want to revisit, with Cloud sync off during swaps. Arcade progress shares the same files.
Where Far Cry 5 stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames
1.save/2.save pairs; 4311 Steam, 1803 Uplay-only. One slot only: new games overwrite. Pause Cloud sync for manual archiving.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/552520/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Ubisoft Game Launcher/savegames
Proton prefix for app ID 552520; the 4311 tree reappears inside the prefix. Same single-slot caution on Steam Deck.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Far Cry 5 saves?
Copy the 4311 folder with the game closed and Cloud sync off. Zip 1.save and 2.save per checkpoint for mission-level rollbacks.
Can I keep two Far Cry 5 campaigns at once?
No. One slot overwrites itself, so starting fresh erases the old campaign unless you archived its 4311 folder first.
