Where Are Open Roads Save Files Located?
Open Roads progress syncs through Steam Cloud with a userdata mirror, while the Store version hides in its wgs vault.
Last updated
Open Roads keeps a thin local footprint on Steam. Progress syncs through Steam Cloud, mirrored in the userdata folder under the game's AppID, with no documented local save directory beyond that.
The Microsoft Store build is stricter, sealing saves in its wgs container where only the Xbox cloud reaches them. Either way the practical advice is the same: trust the cloud copy, verify it exists before reinstalling, and keep Steam Cloud enabled so the mirror stays fresh.
Where Open Roads stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[SteamID]\1497360
Cloud mirror for story progress (AppID 1497360). No separate documented local save folder exists for the Steam build; this mirror is the backup source.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\AnnapurnaInteractive.3943BD17A144_c96c51jf6wkvm\SystemAppData\wgs
Xbox cloud container for the Store build. Opaque by design; progress moves through the Xbox cloud, not through files you can copy.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1497360/pfx/
Proton prefix for the Windows build (AppID 1497360). Cloud-synced progress follows the Steam account, not the prefix.
Frequently asked questions
How do I transfer my Open Roads progress?
Close the game and copy the 1497360 folder. Launch once on the new machine with Cloud on and the sync reconciles both copies.
