Where Are Yakuza 6 Save Files Located?
Yakuza 6 keeps Steam saves under app ID 1388590, with settings in AppData and a separate GOG twin build.
Last updated
Yakuza 6 stores Steam saves in userdata\<SteamID>\1388590\remote with Steam Cloud on top. Settings live in %APPDATA%\Sega\Yakuza6, and the GOG build keeps its own _GOG-suffixed twin plus Galaxy storage. Each store reads only its own tree.
Linux uses the same userdata tree directly, since cloud saves bypass the Proton prefix entirely. Downloaded clear saves go into the remote folder with cloud paused, then load after one clean launch. Keep store builds apart; a Steam file in the GOG tree never appears.
Where Yakuza 6: The Song of Life stores this, by platform
<Steam>\userdata\<SteamID>\1388590\remote
Saves under app 1388590 with Steam Cloud. Settings in AppData Sega; GOG uses its own twin and Galaxy storage. Match saves to their store build.
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<SteamID>/1388590/remote
Cloud saves live in the Linux userdata tree directly under the same app ID. Only the AppData settings side needs the Proton prefix mirror.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move a Yakuza 6 save between Steam and GOG?
Yes with steps. GOG keeps saves in its Galaxy storage path instead of userdata, so copy files across only with the game closed and matching versions. Cloud covers each store separately.
The game crashes after a settings change. What is safe to delete?
Delete graphics settings in %APPDATA%\Sega\Yakuza6 and relaunch. The game rebuilds them with defaults while the userdata saves sit untouched elsewhere.
