Last updated
Mycopunk is Pigeons at Play's co-op looter shooter, published by Devolver Digital and released on October 20, 2026. It runs on Unity 2022 and uses Unity's PlayerPrefs system for progress. On Windows that means the save is not a file at all.
Instead, it lives in the registry at HKEY_USERS\[USER ID]\Software\Pigeons at Play\Mycopunk. For the signed-in user, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pigeons at Play\Mycopunk points at the same key. Profile settings sit in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Pigeons at Play\Mycopunk\Profiles\default. Steam Cloud is disabled, so the registry is the only copy.
Where Mycopunk stores this, by platform
HKEY_USERS\[USER ID]\Software\Pigeons at Play\Mycopunk
Progress and unlocks are registry values. Open regedit and use File > Export on this key to make a backup. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pigeons at Play\Mycopunk is the same key for the current user.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Pigeons at Play\Mycopunk\Profiles\default
Profile settings only, according to PCGamingWiki. Deleting this folder does not wipe progress, but it does reset preferences.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Mycopunk store save data?
In the registry, at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pigeons at Play\Mycopunk for the current user. The HKEY_USERS version with your user ID is the same key. There is no save file in a normal folder.
How do I back up Mycopunk progress?
Open Registry Editor, navigate to Software\Pigeons at Play\Mycopunk under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, and export the key to a .reg file. Restoring that file puts the values back.
Does Steam Cloud back up Mycopunk?
No. Steam Cloud is disabled for the game, so the registry key is the only copy of your progress. Reinstalling Windows without exporting it first loses everything.
Why does Mycopunk use the registry instead of a save file?
It leans on Unity's PlayerPrefs, which stores values in the Windows registry rather than a save file. The Pigeons at Play\Mycopunk key follows that Unity convention.
