Where Are Railbound Save Files Located?
Railbound saves progress in .es3 files under a Unity LocalLow folder, mirrored on Mac and synced by both PC clouds.
Last updated
Railbound is Unity with Easy Save 3, and the files show it. Progress and settings live as .es3 files in a LocalLow folder under the Afterburn name. Mac builds mirror the same tree under Application Support.
One folder holds everything, so backups are a single copy. Steam Cloud and GOG Galaxy mirror the same tree for hands off safety. The .es3 format is binary to human eyes, which means copy rather than edit when moving between machines.
Where Railbound stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Afterburn\Railbound
Progress and settings as .es3 files in the Unity tree. Copy the whole Afterburn folder with the game closed. The files appear after the first level completes.
~/Library/Application Support/Afterburn/Railbound
Same tree on Mac under Application Support. Copy across with the game closed on both ends for cross platform moves.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Railbound saves to a new PC?
Copy the Afterburn folder to the same LocalLow path with the game closed. Levels and settings travel together. Cloud mirrors exist on Steam and GOG, but the folder copy is exact.
What are Railbound .es3 files?
Look for the .es3 files inside the Railbound folder. Progress and settings share the Easy Save 3 format, so the whole folder is the backup unit. Never edit these files by hand.
