Where Are Yooka-Replaylee Save Files Located?
The Yooka-Replaylee save folder on PC, split between LocalLow and Steam userdata, unlike the 2017 original.
Last updated
The remake keeps saves in two places: Unity profile data in LocalLow under Playtonic Ltd, and cloud synced files in Steam's userdata tree under its own App ID. Either copy alone leaves the backup incomplete.
This split is also what separates the remake from the 2017 original, which used a Yooka-Laylee folder for its LocalLow half. Check the folder name before restoring old backups into a new game.
Where Yooka-Replaylee stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Playtonic Ltd\Yooka-Replaylee
Unity LocalLow profile data. Cloud synced saves live separately at Steam\userdata\[SteamID]\2448020\remote. Back up both. The 2017 original used a Yooka-Laylee folder instead and the two do not interchange.

Do Yooka-Laylee saves work in Yooka-Replaylee?
No. The remake reads only its Yooka-Replaylee folders. Original saves stay with the 2017 game.
What do I copy for a complete Yooka-Replaylee backup?
Both the LocalLow folder and the 2448020 remote folder in Steam userdata. One holds profile state, the other holds synced progress.
