Where Are Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Save Files Located?
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor saves sit in Saved Games under Respawn's folder, apart from Fallen Order. Windows and Linux paths plus config.
Last updated
Respawn's games ignore Documents and use the Saved Games folder at the root of your user profile. Survivor stores everything in Saved Games\Respawn\JediSurvivor, while Fallen Order used JediFallenOrder beside it, so the two games never share files. The EA App and Steam versions use the same folder, which is convenient for once.
Graphics settings live elsewhere, in a GameUserSettings file under AppData\Local\SwGame. Survivor's launch was rough for save corruption, so a manual backup habit matters more here than usual: copy the folder before long sessions, not after something breaks. On Linux the layout is mirrored inside the Proton prefix for app ID 1774580.
Where Star Wars Jedi: Survivor stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Respawn\JediSurvivor
Same folder for Steam and EA App copies. Graphics settings are separate, at %LOCALAPPDATA%\SwGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini. Back up the whole JediSurvivor folder; the numbered backup00.sav beside savegame00.sav is your built-in recovery file.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1774580/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/Respawn/JediSurvivor
The Windows layout mirrored inside the Proton prefix, where 1774580 is the game's Steam app ID. Some installs use ~/.steam/steam instead of ~/.local/share/Steam. Config files mirror under .../drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SwGame in the same prefix.
Frequently asked questions
how do i fix a corrupted jedi survivor save
Copy the whole JediSurvivor folder elsewhere first. If a save corrupts, delete savegame00.sav and rename backup00.sav to savegame00.sav, then launch. This community fix works because the game keeps one rotating backup next to the live file.
how does saving work in jedi survivor
Inside the game you save by resting at meditation points, which also refill health and respawn enemies. The files in JediSurvivor are just the record of that. There is no manual save button in a menu, so push to a meditation point before quitting if you want your stopping point kept.

In Desktop mode, open the Proton prefix for app ID 1774580: .../pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/Respawn/JediSurvivor. The EA App version uses the same folder, so this path covers Steam and EA copies alike.
