Where Are Death Stranding Saves?
The original Steam release stores saves under LocalAppData in the KojimaProductions folder. Each account uses a numbered subfolder.
Last updated
On Steam, Death Stranding keeps save data outside the Steam library. The active folder is under LocalAppData in KojimaProductions DeathStranding.
Steam Cloud covers App 1190460. Save files check the account link, so files copied from another user can show as corrupted.
Where Death Stranding stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\KojimaProductions\DeathStranding\<user-id>\
<user-id> is the numeric profile folder. Steam Cloud sync applies to App 1190460. The Epic build uses a LocalLow path instead, so do not mix store folders.
Frequently asked questions
Can I share saves with a friend?
No, not by a simple copy. The game validates the profile link and can reject foreign files as corrupted. Each account should keep its own folder.
What should I back up?
Back up the full numbered folder under DeathStranding. That keeps manual saves and settings together for a restore on the same account.
