Where Does the Rockstar Games Launcher Store Data?
Rockstar Games Documents folder with profiles, settings and save-adjacent files on Windows.
Last updated
The Rockstar Games Launcher keeps profiles, settings and entitlement state in a Documents folder, while game saves live in per-title subfolders nearby. Cloud saves sync progress for supported titles on top.
Launcher login state survives reinstalls of games but not wipes of this folder. Back it up before Windows reinstalls to skip reconfiguration.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Rockstar game saves?
Copy the Rockstar Games folder from Documents with the launcher closed. Per-title folders inside carry profiles plus local saves.
Do Rockstar saves sync to the cloud?
Supported titles sync when enabled in launcher settings. Keep local copies anyway since sync conflicts resolve by picking one side.
