Where Are SnowRunner Save Files Located?
SnowRunner's save homes differ by store: Epic uses Documents with backup slots, Steam uses userdata with converted files.
Last updated
SnowRunner runs two save systems in parallel and never the twain shall meet without help. Epic builds live in Documents under a storage folder with hashed profile IDs. Steam builds live in userdata under app ID 1465360.
The Epic side self insures. A backupSlots folder beside the live profile collects automatic copies, which is where recovery starts when the live files die. Steam players get cloud sync instead, tempered by the usual advice to back up locally before trusting it.
Where SnowRunner stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\SnowRunner\base\storage
Live saves sit in the hashed profile folder with backupSlots beside it. Steam builds instead use Steam\userdata\[your ID]\1465360\remote with .cfg rather than .dat files.
Frequently asked questions
How do I restore from the automatic backups?
Copy the newest backup folder's files into the live profile folder, overwriting. Official support documents exactly this sequence, and it rescues trucks the autosave already drove off a cliff.
Can I move an Epic save to Steam?
Yes, with conversion. Epic saves are .dat files in Documents, Steam saves are .cfg files in userdata 1465360. Copy across, rename every extension, and disable Steam Cloud until the game accepts them.
