Where Are Resident Evil 2 Remake Save Files Located?
Resident Evil 2 Remake has no Documents or AppData saves. Everything sits in Steam userdata under app ID 883710. Path and backup rules.
Last updated
RE Engine games on PC keep their saves inside Steam's own userdata folder, not in your profile folders. For RE2 Remake that means userdata\[YourID]\883710\remote, with individual win64_save files per slot. If Steam lives outside Program Files, the drive letter and prefix change but the tail end of the path stays the same.
Because saves sync through Steam Cloud, dropping in downloaded saves with sync left on usually ends with your old files coming straight back. Turn cloud off for the game first, replace the files, and launch once before re-enabling it. On Linux and Steam Deck the same userdata layout applies, since these files sync as-is across platforms.
Where Resident Evil 2 Remake stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[YourID]\883710\remote
[YourID] is your numeric Steam account folder; most people have exactly one. Saves are win64_save files like data000.bin inside remote. The 883710 folder name is the game's Steam app ID and is the same on every install. Disable Steam Cloud for the game before swapping files by hand.
~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/[YourID]/883710/remote
Same userdata layout as Windows, since Steam Cloud files are platform independent. The default Steam root varies ([YourID] is still your numeric account folder). No Proton prefix digging is needed for this game; remote is the whole save set.
Frequently asked questions
which file is my resident evil 2 remake save
data000.bin is the autosave, and data001.bin upward are manual typewriter saves. A corrupted autosave is the classic reason the game refuses to launch; renaming data000.bin aside while keeping the manual saves often fixes it. Back up the whole win64_save folder either way.
does steam cloud overwrite swapped re2 saves
Yes, and it causes the exact frustration you expect. With sync on, Steam restores your old files over any replacements within seconds. Right-click the game, turn off Steam Cloud, swap the files, launch once to confirm, and only then turn sync back on.
where are re2 remake saves on steam deck
In Desktop mode, saves live in the normal userdata folder, not in a Proton prefix: ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/[YourID]/883710/remote. Copy the remote folder aside before experimenting. The Deck's numeric account folder matches the one on your desktop if both use the same Steam account.
