Where Are South of Midnight Save Files Located?
South of Midnight save folder on PC for Steam and Game Pass, and how Play Anywhere sync ties them together.
Last updated
South of Midnight is an Unreal Engine game, so Steam saves follow the engine's Saved layout with one twist: progress sits in a SaveSystem folder inside a directory named for your 64 bit Steam ID. The Game Pass build uses the same root folder with a flatter layout.
The title is an Xbox Play Anywhere game, which means buying once covers Xbox and PC with shared progress. That sync runs through Xbox cloud saves on the Microsoft Store side and Steam Cloud on the Steam side, so the two builds never read each other's raw files directly.
Where South of Midnight stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SouthOfMidnight\Saved\SaveSystem\[Steam ID]
Steam build only. Replace [Steam ID] with your 64 bit Steam ID folder. The Game Pass build stores its files directly under %LOCALAPPDATA%\SouthOfMidnight without the Saved\SaveSystem nesting. Folder name has no spaces.
Frequently asked questions
how do i move a south of midnight save from game pass to steam
Copy your Steam ID folder out of SaveSystem for Steam, or the whole SouthOfMidnight folder for Game Pass. Moving Game Pass to Steam means placing the files under SaveSystem in a folder named with your 64 bit Steam ID.
does south of midnight sync saves between pc and xbox
Yes on both stores. Steam uses Steam Cloud and the Xbox app version syncs through Xbox cloud saves with Play Anywhere. Give the sync time to finish before switching devices, or the older cloud copy wins.
