Where Are Owlboy Save Files Located?
Owlboy keeps platform saves in Saved Games on Windows with matching Mac and Linux paths. Steam Cloud syncs saves too.
Last updated
Owlboy stores progress in a Saves folder with settings beside it in Config. Windows uses the Saved Games tree. Mac uses Application Support. Linux follows XDG paths with the same inner layout.
Steam Cloud mirrors the saves, which covers most machine moves. Manual copies still matter before modding or verifying files. Copy the whole Owlboy folder to carry both progress and options.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Owlboy saves?
Copy the Saves folder with the game closed to the same path on the new machine. Config travels separately in the Config folder. Steam Cloud usually syncs both.
How do I fully restart progress?
Delete or rename the Saves contents with the game closed for a fresh run. Discovery progress lives per save. Back up first when the wipe is experimental.
