Where Are Starfield Saves Located?
Starfield Saves folder on Windows for Steam and Game Pass, following the Bethesda My Games pattern.
Last updated
Starfield follows the Bethesda convention: Documents, My Games, Starfield, Saves. The .sfs files stay put when you move the Steam library or reinstall.
Game Pass uses the same Documents path for saves even though the game files sandbox elsewhere. That split confuses people hunting inside the Xbox app folders.
Where Starfield stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Starfield\Saves
Same path for Steam and Game Pass. StarfieldCustom.ini and renderer prefs sit one level up; keep them when migrating for settings.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move Starfield saves between Steam and Game Pass?
Yes. Copy the .sfs files into Saves on the other install. Same game version required; mismatched builds reject older saves.
Why is my Saves folder empty after reinstalling?
Check OneDrive Documents sync and Steam Cloud conflicts. The game recreates an empty Saves tree when it cannot see the synced one.
