Where Are Mafia Definitive Edition Save Files Located?
Mafia Definitive Edition saves per Steam ID under My Games, with config files in the same folder tree.
Last updated
Mafia: Definitive Edition keeps saves in Documents\My Games\Mafia Definitive Edition\Data\<SteamID> as .sav files, with profile data (.pf) beside them. Steam's cloud config names that exact per-ID tree, and config files live in the same parent folder.
The numbered folder is the whole ballgame. It must match your numeric Steam account, which is why borrowed saves need a rename before they load. Copy the Data folder with the game closed and both progress and settings travel. Borrowed saves need a folder rename to your own ID before they appear.
Where Mafia: Definitive Edition stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Mafia Definitive Edition\Data\<SteamID>
Saves (.sav) plus profiles (.pf) inside the numeric Steam ID folder. Config sits in the same parent tree. Steam Cloud syncs it. The folder must match your account ID to load.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Mafia Definitive Edition to a new computer?
Copy the whole Data folder. The numbered subfolder must match your numeric Steam ID on the new machine, or the game ignores the saves. Same-ID copies just work.
Do downloaded 100% saves work?
Yes, and picky about it. The saves bind to the numeric Steam account folder, so a foreign save only loads after renaming its folder to your own ID. Progress then appears normally.
