Where Are Ashes of the Singularity II Save Files Located?
Ashes of the Singularity II keeps saves in a per-user folder inside its install directory, not in Documents or AppData.
Last updated
Ashes of the Singularity II is Oxide Games' follow-up RTS, published by Stardock and released on November 10, 2026. Its save location follows an older strategy-game habit: the files live with the game rather than in your user profile.
PCGamingWiki documents saves under the install directory in a folder named with your user ID. Steam Cloud is enabled. Because the folder sits inside the install path, an uninstall or a library move can put it at risk, so copy it first. That is unusual enough that the usual Documents\My Games search comes up empty.
Where Ashes of the Singularity II stores this, by platform
<SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\Ashes of the Singularity II\<UserID>
The subfolder carries a user ID or profile name, so it can differ between players. Saves are documented there, not in Documents\My Games. Copy the folder before uninstalling or moving the Steam library.
Frequently asked questions
Where are Ashes of the Singularity II saves?
Inside the game's install directory, in a folder named with your user ID. Right-click the game in Steam, choose Manage > Browse local files, and look for a folder that matches the ID.
Does Steam Cloud back up Ashes of the Singularity II?
Yes. Steam Cloud is enabled for the game. That helps across reinstalls, but the files still live in the install folder, so a manual copy is the safer backup before an uninstall.
Why are the saves in the install folder?
The game writes them beside its own files instead of using the Documents or AppData conventions. That is an old strategy-game pattern, and it means a library move can separate you from your saves.
Can I move a save to another PC?
Copy the whole user-ID folder into the same place under the new install. Keep the original until the save loads. Matches and campaign progress should come with the folder.
