Where Are Wolfenstein II Save Files Located?
Wolfenstein II keeps campaign slots per Steam ID under a MachineGames tree in Saved Games on Windows.
Last updated
Wolfenstein II uses the id Tech Saved Games pattern: Saved Games/MachineGames/Wolfenstein II The New Colossus/base/savegame.user, then a Steam ID folder, then SLOT0 onward. Profiles and transitions sit inside each slot.
Slot surgery enables the community New Game Plus trick, but only with the game closed and Cloud paused. Game Pass builds share the same Saved Games root with a different packaging tail.
Where Wolfenstein II stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\MachineGames\Wolfenstein II The New Colossus\base\savegame.user
Per-Steam-ID SLOT folders with PROFILE and GAME-TRANSITION inside. Copy the tree closed with Cloud paused. Game Pass uses the same root.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/612880/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/MachineGames/Wolfenstein II The New Colossus/base/savegame.user
Proton prefix for app ID 612880; the Saved Games tail inside mirrors Windows. Same slot-surgery rules on Steam Deck.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Wolfenstein II saves?
Copy the whole MachineGames tree with the game closed. Slots bind to Steam IDs, so restore signed into the same account.
Can I build a New Game Plus from an old Wolfenstein II slot?
Start a fresh game in the empty slot and save once, then copy the old slot's GAME-TRANSITION and PROFILE folders over. Collectibles and perks carry; weapon upgrades do not.
