Where Are Winter Burrow Save Files Located?
Winter Burrow saves use a .survival extension in LocalLow, with matching paths on Mac and Linux.
Last updated
Winter Burrow files its saves under a Pine Creek Games folder in LocalLow, and the files carry a .survival extension you will not see anywhere else. That unusual suffix makes the saves easy to identify in backups and cloud folders.
All three desktop platforms share the same internal layout with OS-specific roots, so a burrow moves between Windows, Mac and Deck by copying one folder. Steam Cloud and Xbox Cloud both sync the game, which covers most players without any manual work.
Where Winter Burrow stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Pine Creek Games\Winter Burrow
Look for .survival files. The spaces in Pine Creek Games matter when typing the path, so pasting is safer than typing.
~/.config/unity3d/Pine Creek Games/Winter Burrow
Native Linux and Steam Deck path under the Unity config root. Same .survival files as Windows, fully interchangeable.
~/Library/Application Support/Pine Creek Games/Winter Burrow
Mac path under Application Support. Copy the folder contents across platforms to move a burrow between machines.
