Last updated
Moving Out files saves in a datastorage folder under Team17 Digital Limited in LocalLow, using the publisher name rather than either developer. Search for the studio names and the folder never appears, which is the main reason this path gets asked about.
Steam Cloud status here is genuinely uncertain: the store flags no Auto-Cloud configuration, so treat local files as the only copy. That makes manual backups mandatory rather than optional before reinstalls.

Frequently asked questions
Does Moving Out use Steam Cloud?
No reliable Auto-Cloud configuration exists, so assume saves are local-only. Back up datastorage manually before any reinstall or drive move.
Does Moving Out 2 share saves with Moving Out?
No. The sequel keeps its own separate folders, so each game backs up and migrates independently.
