Where Are Mutant Year Zero Save Files Located?
Mutant Year Zero saves under a ZoneUE4 folder in LocalAppData, the project's internal codename.
Last updated
Mutant Year Zero stores saves under a folder named ZoneUE4, its internal Unreal project name. Inside sits the usual Engine 4 split: SaveGames for progress, Config for settings.
The Microsoft Store build keeps a parallel copy in its LocalCache, so Steam and Game Pass progress never meet. Search for ZoneUE4 rather than the game title when browsing. Copy the SaveGames folder for backup; Steam Cloud mirrors it anyway.

Frequently asked questions
What is ZoneUE4 and why is my save inside it?
That folder is the Unreal project name on disk. ZoneUE4 paths are Mutant Year Zero saves and settings; back them up like any Unreal game.
