Where Are INSIDE Save Files Located?
Where INSIDE keeps Game2.sav on Steam and DRM free builds, and how to reset progress without Cloud restoring it.
Last updated
INSIDE tracks progress through checkpoints rather than manual slots. The Steam build syncs that state through userdata for AppID 304430. The DRM free build keeps a single Game2.sav file beside the game data.
The Epic build is the odd one out with a Roaming path. Graphics settings live only in the registry, so there is no ini file to edit. Pick the path that matches your store before touching anything. Cloud sync restores deleted checkpoints fast, so keep it off until a fresh run has written once.
Where INSIDE stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[SteamID]\304430\remote
Cloud synced progress for AppID 304430. The numeric folder is your Steam ID. DRM free builds instead keep INSIDE_Data Game2.sav next to the game. Epic builds use Roaming Playdead Inside.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start INSIDE over from the beginning?
Delete the remote folder contents or Game2.sav with Steam Cloud off, then start a new game once before re enabling sync. Cloud restores deleted progress otherwise. The DRM free build only needs its Game2.sav removed.
How do I back up INSIDE without Steam?
Copy Game2.sav from INSIDE_Data next to the game. That single file holds checkpoint progress for the DRM free build. Steam builds instead sync through the userdata remote folder for AppID 304430.
