Where Are Weird West Save Files Located?
Weird West saves under a Nova folder in LocalAppData, the project's internal codename.
Last updated
Weird West stores saves under a folder named Nova, its internal project codename. Inside sits the usual Unreal Engine 4 split: SaveGames for progress, Config for settings.
The Microsoft Store build keeps a parallel copy in its wgs container, so Steam and Game Pass progress never meet. Search for Nova rather than the game title when browsing. Copy the SaveGames folder for backup; Steam Cloud mirrors it anyway.
Where Weird West stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Nova\Saved\SaveGames
Campaign progress under the Nova codename folder. Search for Nova, not the title. Steam Cloud syncs this tree.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Nova\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Graphics and engine ini files (WindowsNoEditor). Separate from progress; reset freely when troubleshooting.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\DevolverDigital.WeirdWest\SystemAppData\wgs
Xbox cloud container for the Store build. Opaque by design; progress moves through the Xbox cloud, not through copyable files.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1097350/pfx/
Proton prefix for the Windows build (AppID 1097350). The Nova tree appears inside the prefix's virtual LocalAppData.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nova and why is my save inside it?
That folder is the internal project name on disk. Nova paths are Weird West saves and settings; back them up like any Unreal game.
