Where Are The Outer Worlds Saves Located?
The Outer Worlds Saved Games folder with Halcyon campaign slots on PC.
Last updated
The Outer Worlds saves into the Windows Saved Games folder under its own directory, with captain slots per playthrough. Perks, reputations and the Unreliable's cargo travel in each slot.
Storefront builds split subfolders by account type, so Steam and Game Pass saves never collide. Copy the right tree or captains seem missing.
Where The Outer Worlds stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\The Outer Worlds
Slots sit inside per Obsidian support, with separate account-type subfolders for Steam versus Store builds. Copy the full folder with the game closed. The Spacer's Choice Edition shares the same tree, so one backup covers both.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Outer Worlds captains?
Copy the entire The Outer Worlds folder from Saved Games. Paste it back to restore every slot plus settings.
Can I move a Game Pass save to Steam?
Yes by copying the slot files into the Steam subfolder with matching versions. Back up both sides first since formats drift between patches.
