Where Are The Talos Principle 2 Save Files Located?
The Talos Principle 2 saves to a Talos2 folder under LocalAppData, with config in a sibling directory.
Last updated
The Talos Principle 2 follows the standard Unreal Engine 5 layout. Saves go in a SaveGames folder and settings in a Config folder, both under a Talos2 directory in LocalAppData.
That split makes backups obvious. Copy SaveGames for progress and the Config folder for graphics and keybinds. Steam Cloud covers the saves across machines, and the Proton prefix path below is where Linux players find the same layout.

Frequently asked questions
How do I tweak graphics beyond the in-game menu?
Open Engine.ini in the Config folder and edit the scalability values, or use the in-game menu. The SaveGames folder holds progress only, so graphics tweaks never live there.
How do I move everything to a new PC?
Copy the whole Talos2 folder with Steam closed, then launch once on the new machine. The cloud syncs saves, but a manual copy covers mods and config too.
