Where Does Onward Store Settings and Maps?
Onward keeps PC settings and custom maps in a Downpour Interactive folder under LocalLow, with Quest files sandboxed.
Last updated
Onward is a Unity VR shooter, so PC settings and custom maps follow the LocalLow pattern under Downpour Interactive/Onward, with a CustomContent folder for community maps. Steam Cloud covers some of this.
Quest builds live sandboxed instead: app files under the Android data path with no user browsing. SideQuest-style USB access plus community sync tools bridge the gap for custom maps. Reinstalls wipe the sandbox, so export maps first.
Where Onward stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Downpour Interactive\Onward
Settings plus CustomContent community maps. Copy the whole tree with the game closed. Cloud covers part; local copies cover the rest.
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.downpour.interactive.onward/files
Sandboxed app files with CustomContent inside. Use USB with developer mode or a community sync tool; no plain file-manager path exists.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Onward settings and maps?
Copy the whole Onward folder with the game closed. CustomContent maps travel with it, which beats re-downloading community maps one by one.
How do I add custom maps to Onward on Quest?
Enable developer mode, plug in over USB, and browse to the app files CustomContent folder. Community sync tools automate the same copy.
