Where Are Firewatch Save Files Located?
Firewatch files numbered slot saves plus daily autosaves in a CampoSanto folder, interchangeable across PC and Mac.
Last updated
Campo Santo's support pages give this one directly. Saves live in a CampoSanto folder with slot files numbered one through four plus autosaves stamped per in game day.
Cross platform compatibility is explicit: PC and Mac files interchange freely. Corrupt save recovery starts by inspecting this folder for truncated files. The layout is flat enough that backups mean copying one directory.
Where Firewatch stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\CampoSanto\Firewatch\saves
Numbered slot saves plus Day autosaves live here. Files interchange freely with Mac copies.
~/Library/Application Support/CampoSanto/Firewatch/saves
Same file shapes as Windows. Older installs may use a unity.CampoSanto.Firewatch variant of this path.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move saves between PC and Mac?
Copy the saves folder contents across systems with the game closed. Slot files and day autosaves share one format on both platforms. Steam Cloud aside, manual copies just work.
Which file is my playthrough?
Slot files are plain numbered .sav files, autosaves carry day numbers in their names. Copy the slot you need; autosaves double as rewind points for missed dialogue branches.
