Where Are South Park Stick of Truth Save Files Located?
Stick of Truth autosaves into My Games with no manual slots, plus a checkpoint-forcing trick for saves.
Last updated
South Park: The Stick of Truth stores saves in Documents\My Games\South Park - The Stick of Truth\save, driven entirely by checkpoint autosaves. There are no manual slots; the bear icon on area transitions is the save happening.
That single chain makes backups essential before hard fights, since one more autosave buries the attempt you wanted to retry. Copy the save folder with the game closed. Obsidian's layout here is simple: one folder, one chain, no cloud to rescue mistakes. Label copies by boss for easy rewinds.

Frequently asked questions
How do I force Stick of Truth to save?
Walk between map zones until the bear icon appears. The game checkpoints on area transitions, so pacing through doors forces saves on demand. Manual slots do not exist.
How do I keep a pre-boss backup?
Copy the save folder out before risky sections. The autosave overwrites one chain, so a boss attempt can bury the pre-fight state. Labeled copies are the only rewind button.
