Where Are Wasteland 3 Save Files Located?
Where Wasteland 3 keeps Ranger saves on PC and Mac, and how OneDrive and Steam Cloud fight over them.
Last updated
Wasteland 3 stores saves in Documents\My Games\Wasteland3\Save Games on PC, shared by Steam and GOG builds. Player logs live apart in LocalLow\InxileEntertainment, which is the folder support asks for alongside the save when a quest breaks.
Two sync systems claim the folder: OneDrive backs up Documents while Steam Cloud syncs the game, and either can overwrite the other after a settings change. When saves go missing, the files are usually intact in the other sync tree rather than deleted.
Where Wasteland 3 stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Wasteland3\Save Games
Paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Wasteland3\Save Games into Explorer. Game Pass builds use a DeepSilver wgs package folder instead. Logs for bug reports sit in %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\InxileEntertainment\Wasteland 3.
~/Library/Application Support/Wasteland3/Save Games
Official support path for Mac builds. Same OneDrive caveat applies if Documents syncs to iCloud Drive.
~/.config/Wasteland3/Save Games
Native Linux build path per inXile support docs. Same Save Games layout inside.
Frequently asked questions
My Wasteland 3 saves keep disappearing or reverting. Why?
Check the OneDrive Documents mirror first: synced setups move the live folder under OneDrive without notice. Confirm Steam Cloud sync state in the client, keep one canonical folder, and back it up outside Documents where neither sync can reach.
What do I send inXile for a bug report?
Copy the Save Games folder with the game closed. Player logs for bug reports live separately in %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\InxileEntertainment\Wasteland 3. Game Pass builds need the wgs container instead; Steam and GOG share the Documents path.
