Where Are Wreckfest Save Files Located?
Wreckfest keeps career and garage in Documents under My Games, with a package folder for the Store build and cloud on Steam.
Last updated
Wreckfest uses the classic Documents layout. Career progress, garage, and settings all live under My Games in a lowercase wreckfest folder. The name casing matters when scripting backups, so copy it exactly.
Store builds diverge the usual way. The Microsoft Store copy writes into its Xbox package folder instead of Documents. Linux runs through Proton with the Windows tree mirrored inside. Check the store you bought from first, then look in the matching tree.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Wreckfest to a new PC?
Copy Documents\My Games\wreckfest to the same spot with the game closed. That folder holds career progress and settings together. Cloud mirrors exist, but the folder copy is complete and instant.
Does Wreckfest sync saves to the cloud?
Yes. Steam Cloud mirrors the Documents folder, and GOG, Epic, and Xbox versions bring their own sync. OneDrive backup of Documents adds another layer. Manual copies still win before reinstalls.
Where are Wreckfest saves on Steam Deck or Linux?
Use the Proton prefix with app ID 228380. The Documents path is mirrored inside it. Cloud copies may also sit under userdata for the same ID.
