Where Are Silent Hill 2 Remake Save Files Located?
Silent Hill 2 Remake saves to LocalAppData with no Steam Cloud backup. The exact path, the slot limit, and Linux.
Last updated
Silent Hill 2 Remake is a standard Unreal Engine 5 game with its saves in the standard Unreal place: LocalAppData\SilentHill2\Saved\SaveGames, inside a folder named with your user ID. The .sav files there are your manual slots, and the config files sit one level up under Saved\Config\Windows.
What makes this folder load-bearing is the absence of Steam Cloud. There is no safety net, so the usual advice is inverted: back up first and ask questions later. The game also caps you at ten slots with no in-game delete, so pruning old .sav files by hand is part of normal maintenance. Linux mirrors the layout inside the Proton prefix for app ID 2124490.
Where Silent Hill 2 Remake stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SilentHill2\Saved\SaveGames\[ID]
[ID] is your numeric user folder holding the .sav slot files. Engine config lives at %LOCALAPPDATA%\SilentHill2\Saved\Config\Windows. There is no Steam Cloud for this game, so copy the SaveGames folder to a backup drive regularly; nothing else will do it for you.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2124490/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SilentHill2/Saved/SaveGames/[ID]
The Windows layout mirrored inside the Proton prefix, where 2124490 is the game's Steam app ID. Some installs use ~/.steam/steam instead of ~/.local/share/Steam. The Microsoft Store version uses a different sandboxed path, so this entry covers Steam copies only.
Frequently asked questions
does silent hill 2 remake use steam cloud
No, and that is the single most important fact about these saves. Bloober's remake does not use Steam Cloud, so a dead drive or a careless reinstall takes everything with it. Set a reminder to copy the SaveGames folder somewhere safe every few sessions.
how do i delete old silent hill 2 remake saves
It does not, and the ten slots fill up faster than you expect across a normal and a New Game Plus run. Delete old slots by removing their .sav files from the SaveGames folder while the game is closed. Keep one spare slot free so an autosave never has nowhere to go.
where are silent hill 2 remake saves on steam deck
In Desktop mode, the layout is mirrored inside the Proton prefix for app ID 2124490: .../pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SilentHill2/Saved/SaveGames. The no-cloud warning applies double on Deck; sync the folder to your desktop or a USB stick yourself.
