Where Are Everspace 2 Saves Located?
Everspace 2 Unreal SaveGames folder under LocalAppData with slots and profiles on PC.
Last updated
Everspace 2 is an Unreal game, so saves live under LocalAppData in the standard Saved\SaveGames tree. Pilot profiles, ship loadouts and system progress share the folder.
Hardcore and story runs use separate slots in the same tree. Copy the folder and every pilot plus difficulty setting moves together.
Where Everspace 2 stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ES2\Saved\SaveGames
Slots and profile files sit inside with config next door at Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor. The reported project folder is ES2; confirm on your install since the studio never documented it. Back up the ES2 folder with the game closed.
