Where Are Sea of Stars Save Files Located?
Sea of Stars save folder on Windows, the Store container variant, and safe backup before the DLC chapters.
Last updated
Sea of Stars is a Unity game, so desktop saves sit in LocalLow under a Sabotage Studio folder, with each slot kept as files directly inside. Steam Cloud covers the desktop copy, which makes machine hopping painless until sync disagrees with local files.
The Microsoft Store version seals saves in its Xbox container instead, so the two editions never share a folder. Copy the whole Sea of Stars folder with the game closed and cloud sync paused. Restore the same way and launch once to confirm the slots load.
Where Sea of Stars stores this, by platform
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Sabotage Studio\Sea of Stars
Save slots live directly in this folder. The Store edition instead uses its Packages container with Xbox cloud sync, so this tree stays empty there.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Sea of Stars progress?
Close the game and copy the entire Sea of Stars folder with a date in the name. Pause cloud sync before any restore, then launch once to confirm every slot loads before playing on.
Can I move a Sea of Stars save from Steam to Game Pass?
Not by copying files. The Store build keeps saves in its sealed Xbox container with no drop in folder. Finish or park the Steam run first, since no transfer path exists.
