Last updated
GreedFall 2 keeps everything in Documents, in a folder named GreedFall 2. Saves use the .fsav extension, one file per slot, and sit next to a small settings.json that holds options. The layout is simple enough that a folder listing tells you which slot is which.
The game entered early access in 2024 and reached 1.0 in 2026, but the folder did not move in between. Steam Cloud and GOG Galaxy both sync it. OneDrive backup of Documents can duplicate the tree, so pause syncing before restoring older saves by hand.
Where GreedFall 2 stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\GreedFall 2
Saves are *.fsav files here, with settings.json beside them for options. Steam and GOG builds share the path. Copy the folder with the game closed; progress is local, not server side.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/1997660/pfx/
Steam Play prefix for app ID 1997660. The Documents folder above is mirrored inside the prefix at drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/GreedFall 2. Cloud copies also land under ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1997660.
Frequently asked questions
Which GreedFall 2 files do I back up?
Copy the whole Documents\GreedFall 2 folder. The .fsav files are your slots and settings.json holds options. Restoring only the .fsav files works, but keeping both preserves graphics and keybinds too.
Where is the GreedFall 2 config file?
Next to the saves at Documents\GreedFall 2\settings.json. It is plain JSON, so hand edits are possible with the game closed. Keep a copy first, since a malformed file resets options to defaults.
Do early access saves work in 1.0?
Slot files carried forward for most players, though patches around launch warned that older saves could break. Keep a backup of the pre-update folder before letting Steam patch, so a broken slot can be retried after a hotfix.
