Where Are Resident Evil Village Save Files Located?
Village keeps PC saves in the Steam userdata tree under its app ID, campaign progress and unlockables in one win64_save folder.
Last updated
RE Engine games on Steam converge on one pattern and Village follows it. Saves live in userdata under the game's app ID in a folder called win64_save, nowhere near Documents.
There is no per slot file to learn. The folder holds the profile data the game slices into slots itself, which makes backup delightfully simple: copy the folder, all progress types included. Cloud sync mirrors the same files, so local copies still matter when sync overwrites the wrong direction.
Where Resident Evil Village stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[your ID]\1196590\remote\win64_save
Copy the whole 1196590 folder for backups, not single files. The numeric middle folder is your Steam account ID on shared machines.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1196590/pfx/
Steam Play prefix. The saves hide inside at drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/[your ID]/1196590/remote/win64_save. Library paths vary.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up before modding?
Copy the whole 1196590 folder aside with Steam closed. Mods and updates both touch these files, and a clean copy restores campaign progress, Mercenaries unlocks, and challenge rewards in one move.
Where are unlocked extras stored?
Same place. Difficulty completions, unlocked weapons, and Mercenaries progress all live in the win64_save files rather than a separate profile. Losing the folder loses the unlocks with the campaign.
