Where Are Final Fantasy XVI Saves Stored?
Final Fantasy XVI on PC stores saves in Documents under My Games in PNG format. Steam and Epic builds use separate subfolders under the same parent.
Last updated
Final Fantasy XVI stores PC saves in Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XVI. Steam builds place PNG save files in a Steam subfolder named for your Steam ID. Epic Games builds use an EOS subfolder in the same parent.
Each slot is a separate PNG file plus an auto save file. Back up the full FINAL FANTASY XVI folder before reinstalling Windows or switching drives because cloud sync can lag behind local progress.
Where Final Fantasy XVI stores this, by platform
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XVI\Steam\<SteamID64>
Replace <username> with your Windows profile name. Replace <SteamID64> with your numeric Steam ID folder. Files use names such as 0001.png and auto.png. Back up the full Steam folder. Steam Cloud syncs this location and restoring while Steam is running can cause the cloud copy to overwrite your files.
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XVI\EOS
This is the save root for the Epic Games Store build using Epic Online Services. Copy the full EOS folder for backup. Progress is tied to the Epic account used at purchase and a different account will not see existing saves.
Frequently asked questions
Are Final Fantasy XVI saves really PNG files?
Yes. The game writes encrypted save data inside files with a .png extension. Do not rename them or open and resave them in an image editor. Copy them as is for backup and restore.
Why are my saves missing after moving PCs?
Confirm the files are in the correct Steam or EOS subfolder and that you are logged into the same store account. Allow Steam Cloud or Epic Cloud to finish syncing before launch. If Documents is redirected to OneDrive, verify the game is reading the same Documents path.
