Where Are Stranded Deep Save Files Located?
Stranded Deep moved saves from Documents to LocalLow years ago, so old guides point at the wrong place. The current path and slot numbering.
Last updated
Current Stranded Deep saves live in LocalLow under Beam Team Games, one Slot folder per save slot. Old guides still point at Documents, which was correct until update 0.75 moved everything.
Slot numbering is off by one and bites everyone once: in game Slot 1 is the Slot0 folder, Slot 2 is Slot1, and so on. Co-op saves land in the same tree as data_MP_COOP.json inside the host's slot folder.
Where Stranded Deep stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Beam Team Games\Stranded Deep\Data
Slot0 through Slot3 folders below this hold the saves. There is no cloud sync, so copy the Data folder before reinstalling. Experimental branch builds add an Experimental level to the path.
Frequently asked questions
why do guides say Stranded Deep saves are in Documents?
They were, before update 0.75 relocated saves to AppData LocalLow and offered a one time import. Anything written after that move points at Beam Team Games in LocalLow.
which folder is save slot 1 in Stranded Deep?
Slot0. The folders run zero indexed while the game menu runs one indexed, so subtract one every time. Co-op hosts should look for data_MP_COOP.json in their slot folder.
