Where Are SteamWorld Heist II Saves Located?
SteamWorld Heist II keeps saves in Documents My Games on Windows and Application Support on Mac. Linux uses XDG data.
Last updated
SteamWorld Heist II follows the same layout as the first Heist. Windows saves sit in Documents under My Games in a SteamWorld Heist II folder. That folder holds save slots and settings side by side, so a full folder copy is enough for backup.
Mac builds use Application Support with a similar folder name. Linux builds follow XDG data directories. If you run the Windows build under Proton, the saves live inside the prefix and mirror the Documents path. Check folder dates after saving to confirm you have the active slot set.
