Steam saves are at %APPDATA%\SEGA\P5R\Steam\<numeric-id>\savedata\. The full form is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P5R\Steam\<numeric-id>\savedata\. The <numeric-id> folder varies per account.
Inside savedata are DATA01, DATA02 and similar slot folders each with DATA.DAT, plus a SYSTEM folder with SYSTEM.DAT for Thieves Den and system data. Game Pass uses %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\SEGAofAmericaInc.*\SystemAppData\wgs\<variable-ids>\ with container files.
Where Persona 5 Royal stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\SEGA\P5R\Steam\<numeric-id>\savedata\
Steam pattern. <numeric-id> varies. DATA01 maps to in game slot 1 and so on. Disable Steam Cloud before manual delete or restore, or Cloud will re-download the old files.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\SEGAofAmericaInc.P5R_*\SystemAppData\wgs\<variable-ids>\
Game Pass pattern with variable package suffix and nested GUID folders. Each slot is a container folder with a container file plus an extensionless save blob. Transfers to Steam require creating a Steam save first, then replacing DATA.DAT with the Game Pass blob renamed to DATA.DAT.
Frequently asked questions
Which file is my campaign save?
On Steam it is savedata\DATA0X\DATA.DAT where X matches the slot number. Back up the whole savedata folder to keep all slots and SYSTEM.DAT together.
Can I move a Game Pass save to Steam?
Yes with manual steps. Start a new Steam game and save once, turn off Steam Cloud, replace the target DATA.DAT with the extracted Game Pass save blob, load to verify, save again, then re-enable Cloud.
