Where Are Tales of Arise Save Files Located?
Where Tales of Arise keeps its SaveData per user ID on PC, and how Steam Cloud fits the picture.
Last updated
Tales of Arise saves at %LOCALAPPDATA%\BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment\Tales of Arise\Saved\SaveGames, inside a numeric user folder holding the SaveData file. The publisher folder in the middle of that path hides it from anyone searching AppData for the game title.
That nesting is standard across Bandai Namco PC ports, so one bookmark covers several games. Steam Cloud syncs the same SaveData when enabled. Config INIs sit beside the saves under Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor. The numeric folder mirrors the Steam account, so family sharing adds a second one.
Where Tales of Arise stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment\Tales of Arise\Saved\SaveGames
The numeric folder is the user ID; keep it exactly or the game starts fresh. Running as admin once fixes the classic unable to create save data error on new installs. GOG and Steam builds share this tree.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/740130/pfx/.../Tales of Arise/Saved/SaveGames
Same publisher nested tree inside the Proton prefix for app 740130. Copy the Windows SaveGames contents straight across. If the folder is missing, confirm the game ran under Proton at least once.
Frequently asked questions
how do i back up tales of arise saves
Copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment\Tales of Arise\Saved\SaveGames to the same path on the new PC with the game closed. Keep the numeric user folder intact; it maps the saves to the account. Steam Cloud may also sync them, but the copy is certain.
why is there no tales of arise folder in appdata
Search AppData for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment, not the game title. The publisher folder sits between Local and the game folder, which hides it from title searches. Paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment into Explorer to see every Bamco game at once.
where is the tales of arise config file
In Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor as GameUserSettings.ini and Engine.ini. Edit with the game closed or the running game overwrites the file on exit. Graphics mods and fixes target this folder, not the save folder.
