Where Are GRID Legends Save Files Located?
GRID Legends career saves and hardware settings in Documents My Games, on Windows and Linux.
Last updated
GRID Legends follows the classic Codemasters layout: a GRID Legends folder inside Documents\My Games, with career progress in a savegame subfolder and graphics options in a hardwaresettings subfolder. Steam Cloud covers the saves, and the config XML sits beside them for hand editing.
The EGO engine layout will feel familiar to anyone coming from DiRT or F1 games of the same era. Linux players get the identical tree through Proton, and the macOS Feral port keeps its own equivalent. One folder copy therefore migrates everything that matters.
