Where Are Until Dawn Remake Save Files Located?
The Until Dawn remake saves on PC in Documents under My Games, inside a folder named Bates with one subfolder per Steam account.
Last updated
The 2024 remake is Unreal Engine 5, and it hides its saves behind a codename. On PC everything lives in Documents, under My Games, in a folder called Bates. Real progress sits two levels down, in SaveGames, inside a folder named with your numeric Steam ID.
For a backup, take the entire Bates folder rather than single slots. That catches the account folder plus the Config tree next to it. Paste it into Documents on the target PC before the first launch so Cloud accepts it as current.
Where Until Dawn stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Bates\Saved\SaveGames
The Steam ID subfolder varies per user. The .sav files inside are chapter progress. Config next to SaveGames holds graphics and input settings.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Until Dawn remake saves to a new PC?
Copy the whole Bates folder from Documents. Inside SaveGames sits one folder per Steam ID with the .sav files. Paste it back before launching on the new machine.
Why is the save folder called Bates instead of Until Dawn?
Bates was the project codename Ballistic Moon used for the remake. The folder holds real saves and config, so do not rename it or the game creates a fresh one.
Should I leave Steam Cloud enabled?
Keep it on. Files are under 500 KB, so Cloud sync is cheap insurance for a choice driven game where one overwritten chapter ruins a planned ending.
