Where Are The Infected Save Files Located?
The Infected keeps world game saves in its Steam install Saves folder with settings under Local AppData.
Last updated
The Infected breaks the AppData habit by keeping worlds inside its own Steam install tree. Settings sit separately under Local AppData. That split confuses backup guides that copy one side only. Worlds stay with the install while prefs stay with the user profile. Both sides must travel for a full move.
Grab both locations with Steam closed. Moving the library folder orphans absolute references until Steam validation runs. Verify integrity after moving drives so Steam re links the folder. Check the world list inside the game after restore to confirm.
Where The Infected stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Infected\TheInfected\Saves
World saves inside the Steam install tree for AppID 1360000. Pair with the Local AppData settings copy for full migration.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up The Infected?
Copy the Saves folder inside steamapps common plus %LOCALAPPDATA%\TheInfected with the game closed. The install copy holds worlds; the AppData copy holds settings. Both travel for full restore.
What is The Infected Steam AppID?
Steam AppID is 1360000. PCGamingWiki lists only the Proton prefix because the Windows path lives in the install tree. Verify integrity after moving drives so Steam re links the folder.
