Where Are Sniper Elite 5 Save Files Located?
Sniper Elite 5 keeps slot saves in PC_ProfileSaves under Local on Steam, with Game Pass builds in a wgs package instead.
Last updated
Sniper Elite 5 stores saves per Rebellion's own layout. Steam builds write slot files into a PC_ProfileSaves folder under Local, inside a subfolder named for your numeric Steam ID. Profile, backup, autosaves, and manual slots each get their own slot files.
Game Pass builds ignore that tree and hide saves in a wgs package with hashed names. The two editions never read each other folders. Back up the Steam ID folder whole with the game closed, since slot files reference each other across the set.
Where Sniper Elite 5 stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Sniper Elite 5\PC_ProfileSaves\[SteamID]
Paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sniper Elite 5\PC_ProfileSaves into Explorer. The numbered folder is your Steam ID with slot files inside. Back up whole with the game closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Sniper Elite 5 saves?
Copy the numbered Steam ID folder out of PC_ProfileSaves with the game closed. Slot files pair profile data with campaign saves, so partial copies strand unlocks. Restore into the same path on the new PC before launching.
Can I move saves between Steam and Game Pass?
They use different roots. Steam reads PC_ProfileSaves while Game Pass hides saves in a hashed wgs container. Transfers need manual file surgery with matching versions, so finish the campaign on one storefront when possible.
