Resident Evil 4 Remake save location on Windows and Linux, buried in the Steam userdata folder under app ID 2050650.
Last updated
Like most Capcom PC ports, RE4 Remake stores saves in the Steam userdata tree, not in Documents or AppData. The key numbers are your Steam user ID and the game ID 2050650.
On Linux through Proton, the same saves live inside the compatdata prefix for that app ID. The Windows path below is the one most people need.
Where Resident Evil 4 Remake stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[SteamID]\2050650\remote\win64_save
Replace the Steam install path and user ID with your own. The win64_save folder holds the actual slots. Back up the whole 2050650 folder to be safe.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2050650/pfx
This is the Proton prefix layout. The inner path mirrors the Windows userdata structure. Exact layout may vary with Proton versions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Steam user ID folder?
Your Steam3 ID appears in your trade offer URL, or use a Steam ID finder with your profile link. The userdata folder contains one numeric folder per account that has used this machine.
Do RE4 Remake saves sync with Steam Cloud?
Yes, if Steam Cloud is enabled for the game. The userdata copy is what syncs. Local-only edits can conflict with the cloud copy, so let Steam finish syncing before launching after a restore.
