Where Does Sky: Children of the Light Store Progress?
Sky progress on Android and iOS tied to Thatgamecompany accounts plus local app cache.
Last updated
Sky keeps progress on Thatgamecompany servers linked to your account, with candles and spirits cached locally for offline areas. There is no manual save file to copy.
Moving devices means logging into the same account plus system backup. Clearing app data starts fresh unless the account carried it. Exact local folder names may vary by version.

Frequently asked questions
How do I keep Sky progress on a new phone?
Link a Thatgamecompany account on the old device and open Sky once on WiFi, then restore the new phone from system backup before first launch. Confirm candles before wiping.
Does deleting Sky delete my candles?
Not when the account synced. Server holds unlocks while the phone caches recent areas. Reinstall and log into the same account to pull everything back.
