Where Are Snakebird Save Files Located?
Snakebird saves in its install SavesDir with registry plus dat config. Cloud mirrors per account with VirtualStore caveats.
Last updated
Snakebird keeps saves in its install folder rather than AppData. A SavesDir tree holds progress files with dat companions plus registry keys for options. Cloud mirrors per account with repopulation quirks.
Protected installs redirect silently into VirtualStore without admin rights. Linux builds mirror under XDG config trees. Copy install trees whole with Cloud disabled for true wipes.
Where Snakebird stores this, by platform
<SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\Snakebird\SavesDir
Progress files with dat companions plus registry keys in the install tree. Cloud repopulates deletions unless disabled. VirtualStore shadows protected installs.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/357300/pfx/
Steam Play prefix for App ID 357300. Install and XDG trees map inside the prefix drive. Same Cloud behavior on Deck and Linux.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Snakebird saves?
Copy <Steam>\steamapps\common\Snakebird\SavesDir whole with the game closed. Main saves carry progress with dat files and registry keys covering options. Disable Cloud first or deletions repopulate.
My Snakebird SavesDir is empty. Why?
Check VirtualStore for redirected copies on protected installs without admin rights. Program Files placements trigger silent redirection. The documented tree stays canonical regardless.
Where is the Snakebird config?
They split saves from settings cleanly. Dat files plus registry keys carry options while sav files carry progress. Linux mirrors under XDG config with the same interior shape.
