Where Are Gears of War Reloaded Save Files Located?
Gears Reloaded keeps campaign saves and config under Local on PC, with cross-progression through your Xbox account on Play Anywhere builds.
Last updated
Gears of War Reloaded stores campaign progress locally in the Unreal Saved tree on PC. Slots, checkpoints, and profile options sit together, with graphics config beside them. Exact folder names may vary by version, so confirm the live folder before copying.
Play Anywhere builds add Xbox cloud saves on top, syncing through your Microsoft account across console and PC. Steam builds use Steam Cloud instead. Mods and tweaks read the same tree, so back up before changing anything. Co-op progress follows the host campaign, so guests keep achievements but not story slots.

Campaign slots and config together. Exact folder names may vary by version. Play Anywhere syncs via Xbox account; Steam via Steam Cloud. Never mix the two ecosystems mid-campaign.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Gears Reloaded saves?
Copy the Saved folder with the game closed and Cloud paused. Campaign slots travel together, so move the whole tree. Restore to the same path, launch once, then re-enable sync and confirm the chapter select.
Does cross-progression work?
Yes between Xbox and PC Play Anywhere builds through your Xbox account. Steam progress syncs through Steam Cloud separately and does not merge with Xbox saves. Pick one ecosystem per campaign run to avoid split progress.
