Where Are Pillars of Eternity II Saves Located?
Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire save folder in Saved Games with per-profile game directories on PC.
Last updated
Deadfire follows the Obsidian habit of saving under the Windows Saved Games folder. Each profile gets its own directory with current and archived games inside.
Berath's Blessings and ship names travel with the profile, so copy at the profile level rather than cherry-picking one game. The first Pillars uses a parallel folder, not a shared one.
Where Pillars of Eternity II stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity II
Profiles sit directly inside, each with currentgame and savegame folders. Copy the whole Pillars of Eternity II folder with the game closed. Exact inner names may vary by patch, so keep profile folders intact.
