Where Are Outbound Save Files Located?
Outbound stores Unity saves and autosaves in LocalLow under Square Glade Games, with settings in a sibling folder.
Last updated
Outbound is a Unity game, so everything lands in LocalLow under the developer name Square Glade Games. Manual saves (*.save) and autosaves (*.autosave) share one Savegames folder, while synced settings get their own Settings folder next door.
That separation is handy after a crash. The autosave can be older than your last manual save, so check timestamps in Savegames before assuming the newest file is the one you want.
Where Outbound stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Square Glade Games\Outbound\Savegames
Manual saves and autosaves share this folder. Copy it with the game closed; check file dates after a crash since autosaves can lag behind manual ones.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Square Glade Games\Outbound\Settings
Synced option files (*.synced). Leave this folder alone when restoring saves; it rebuilds itself if deleted.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/2681030/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Square Glade Games/Outbound/Savegames
Proton prefix for AppID 2681030. Mirror the Square Glade Games\Outbound tail inside drive_c; the Savegames versus Settings split is identical.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up my Outbound camper and world?
Copy the whole Outbound folder with the game closed. Savegames holds manual and auto saves while Settings holds options, so one copy covers everything.
My progress rolled back after a crash. Which file do I need?
Check the Savegames folder for .save versus .autosave files. Manual saves keep the world state you chose; autosaves roll on their own schedule and can lag behind.
