Where Are Monster Hunter World Save Files Located?
Monster Hunter World saves live in Steam userdata under a numeric folder per account. Mods live separately in nativePC.
Last updated
Monster Hunter World keeps saves the Steam way: a remote folder inside userdata under your numeric Steam ID, holding slots plus guild card and system data. Steam Cloud mirrors the tree between sessions. Mods live entirely elsewhere in a nativePC folder in the game directory, so save backups never touch mod files.
Copy the whole remote folder rather than single slots, since shared system files travel with them. Event quest progress deserves backups before long sessions. Keep modded experiments on a separate copy mindset from the hunter you take online.
Where Monster Hunter World stores this, by platform
[Steam]\userdata\[SteamID]\582010\remote
Slots plus guild card and system data in one remote tree. Copy everything with Steam closed. The numeric folder is your Steam ID; Cloud mirrors this path.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up my hunter?
Copy the whole remote folder with Steam closed and Cloud paused. Save slots share system files with guild card data, so partial copies produce missing hunters. Restore to the same numeric folder.
Are mods safe for online hunts?
Yes for cosmetic and interface mods kept offline, no for anything touching multiplayer hunts. Event quests validate files strictly, so keep a clean install mindset for online play.
