Where Are Far Cry 6 Save Files Located?
Far Cry 6 saves Yara progress in a numbered folder under Ubisoft Connect savegames, with Steam builds using a different ID.
Last updated
Far Cry 6 stores saves the Ubisoft way: inside the Ubisoft Game Launcher tree under savegames, then your account-ID folder, then a game folder (5266 for Connect builds, 920 for Steam). Four files per checkpoint live inside.
Speedrunners archive per-mission copies in subfolders for practice, which shows the layout tolerates extra folders. For normal backups, copy the whole numbered folder with Cloud sync paused first.
Where Far Cry 6 stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames
5266 for Connect, 920 for Steam (trial builds 5267). Identify your account-ID folder by most-recent timestamp. Pause Cloud sync before swapping files.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2369390/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Ubisoft Game Launcher/savegames
Same Ubisoft Connect layout under Proton; the launcher tree reappears inside the prefix. Steam Deck players follow the same numbered-folder logic.
