Where Are Goat Simulator 3 Save Files Located?
Goat Simulator 3 saves under the Goat2 folder on Windows, what the odd name means, and safe backup routine.
Last updated
Goat Simulator 3 files its saves under a folder called Goat2, the internal project name, which is why searching for Goat Simulator finds nothing. Inside sits the familiar Unreal split with SaveGames for progress and Config for settings.
Steam Cloud covers these files, but the Epic build does not sync the same way, so manual copies matter there. Back up the whole Goat2 folder with the game closed. Restoring single files tends to fail because slots reference shared data.
Where Goat Simulator 3 stores this, by platform
%localappdata%\Goat2\Saved\SaveGames
Goat2 is the internal project name, not a typo. Settings sit beside saves in Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor. Copy the full Goat2 folder rather than individual files.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no Goat Simulator folder in AppData?
The game uses its development codename Goat2 for the folder. Paste %localappdata%\Goat2 into the Run dialog and you land straight in it.
How do I back up Goat Simulator 3 progress?
Close the game and copy the entire Goat2 folder with a date in the name. On Epic, which lacks Steam Cloud, this local copy is the only backup that exists.
