Where Are Outer Wilds Saves Located?
Outer Wilds save folder on PC under Mobius Digital in LocalLow, with Steam and Game Pass layout differences.
Last updated
Outer Wilds saves under AppData LocalLow in a Mobius Digital folder. The saves inside track ship-log completion rather than inventory, but the backup logic is the same.
Spoiler-adjacent warning: the files encode what you have discovered. Snooping the folder contents can spoil the game, so copy blind.
Where Outer Wilds stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Mobius Digital\Outer Wilds
Steam and Epic layout. Contains SteamSaves and related state. Game Pass builds use a Packages container path instead. Copy the whole folder with the game closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Outer Wilds exploration progress?
Copy the whole Outer Wilds folder with the game closed. Ship log and completion state travel together. Restore before launching.
Is the Game Pass save in the same place?
The Game Pass build uses a UWP container path instead of LocalLow, similar to other Game Pass ports. Steam and Epic use the LocalLow path below.
