Where Are Mad Max Save Files Located?
Mad Max save files on Windows, Mac and Linux, the dual Documents plus Steam userdata remote setup for Cloud play.
Last updated
Mad Max keeps two copies of saves on Windows. PCGamingWiki lists Documents/WB Games/Mad Max/Backup Saves with GameSave files plus the Steam userdata 234140 remote tree. The game plays from Documents and mirrors to Steam.
Deleting Documents forces a rebuild from the Steam copy on next launch. That dance confuses backup guides that name only one side. Feral ports add macOS and Linux trees with the same Backup Saves names inside. Autosaves hitch briefly on slow disks. Denying remote writes forces local only saves for testing.

Frequently asked questions
Which Mad Max files do I back up?
Copy both the Documents WB Games Mad Max Backup Saves folder and the userdata 234140 remote tree with the game closed and Cloud off. The game regenerates Documents from Steam files. Restore both sides together.
Does Steam Cloud sync Mad Max saves?
Yes. Steam Cloud syncs the userdata remote copy across machines on the same account. The Documents tree follows locally. Keep Cloud on unless a manual transfer fights it.
