Where Are Lies of P Save Files Located?

Lies of P SaveGames folder on Windows, macOS and Linux, why it lives in the install directory, and the corruption backup habit.

Last updated

Lies of P keeps saves inside its own install folder under LiesofP/Saved/SaveGames, in a subfolder named with your Steam ID. That breaks the habit of hunting in Documents or AppData first. Mac builds use a Neowiz folder under Application Support instead, which follows platform convention.

Corruption reports make backups essential here. Copy the Steam ID folder elsewhere with the game closed before bosses and patches. Verifying files or reinstalling can wipe the install tree where saves live, so keep spares outside SteamLibrary entirely. Linux Proton nests the same tree under compatdata 1627720.

Where Lies of P stores this, by platform

Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Lies of P\LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames\[SteamID]

Replace the Steam root if your library moved. Right click the game in Steam and pick Manage > Browse local files to open the install folder directly.

macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Neowiz/LiesofP/Saved/SaveGames/[SteamID]

The Neowiz folder appears only after playing past the tutorial. Use Go > Go to Folder in Finder to reach the hidden Library.

Linux
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1627720/pfx

Proton prefix for AppID 1627720. The Windows style SaveGames tree nests inside drive_c. Search compatdata/1627720 if your library lives elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Lies of P saves?

Close the game, copy the Steam ID folder from SaveGames to safe storage with a date in the name. Restoring means replacing that folder with Cloud paused, then launching once to confirm.

Will verifying game files delete my saves?

It can, because saves live in the install tree. Copy the SaveGames folder out first, verify, then copy your ID folder back with the game closed.
