Where Does Forza Motorsport Store Settings on PC?
Forza Motorsport local config containers on PC, with career progress kept server side.
Last updated
Forza Motorsport (2023) keeps local options in deep ConnectedStorage containers: User_SteamLocalStorageDirectory on Steam, User_GamingLocalStorageDirectory in the ForzaMotorsport Packages tree on Store builds, ending at ForzaUserConfigSelections\UserConfigSelections. Career runs server side on your Microsoft account with Xbox Live cross save.
Back up the UserConfigSelections tree for graphics and wheel settings only; wgs style blobs never restore careers, and bans or outages lose progress no file can recover. Container names may shift with updates, so navigate from %LOCALAPPDATA% rather than memorizing the full chain. No Horizon style Documents saves exist here.
Where Forza Motorsport stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft.ForzaMotorsport\User_SteamLocalStorageDirectory\ConnectedStorage\ForzaUserConfigSelections\
Steam graphics and wheel config (AppID 2440510). Store builds mirror under Packages\Microsoft.ForzaMotorsport_...\LocalCache\Local. Career is server side; wgs blobs do not restore it. No native Linux or Mac build exists.
Frequently asked questions
Can I back up my Forza Motorsport career?
No file route exists. Career lives server side on your Microsoft account; local trees hold options only. Keep the account secure instead of copying containers.
Do Steam and Xbox share Forza Motorsport progress?
Yes for saves via Xbox Live cross save (separate purchase per platform). Local config stays per install; only the server side career travels.
