Where Are Hogwarts Legacy Saves Located?
Hogwarts Legacy save folder on Windows for Steam, Epic and Game Pass, including the numeric subfolder layout and the separate Game Pass container path.
Last updated
On Steam and Epic, Hogwarts Legacy saves sit under %LOCALAPPDATA%\HogwartsLegacy\Saved\SaveGames, inside a subfolder named with your account ID. Files follow the HL-00-00.sav pattern, plus a SaveGameList.sav index.
The Game Pass build is the odd one out. It stores saves inside its UWP package container, so the path looks nothing like the Steam one and the files are not interchangeable without conversion.
Where Hogwarts Legacy stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\HogwartsLegacy\Saved\SaveGames
Steam and Epic share this path. Replace the numeric folder with your own account ID. Back up the whole SaveGames folder, since SaveGameList.sav tracks your characters.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\WarnerBros.Interactive.PHX_ktmk1xygcecda\SystemAppData\wgs
The exact package name varies with updates. Saves hide several levels deep in wgs folders with obfuscated names. Copy the entire wgs tree if you back this up.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Hogwarts Legacy Steam save folder?
Paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\HogwartsLegacy\Saved\SaveGames into the File Explorer address bar. Inside is a folder named with your numeric Steam ID, and the HL-00-*.sav files live in there.
Can I move a Steam save to the Game Pass version?
No. The Game Pass build seals saves inside its UWP container, so Steam saves must be converted and injected per file. Community tools exist for this, but expect friction and keep backups before trying.
