Witchspire Save Files — Location, Backup & Cloud Save
Knowing where your Witchspire save files are stored helps you back up progress, troubleshoot issues, and transfer saves between PCs. This page covers save file location, backup methods, Steam Cloud status, and known issues.
Save File Location
The exact save file path for Witchspire needs in-game verification. Based on common patterns for Unity/Unreal games on Steam, saves are typically stored in one of these locations:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[your_steam_id]\[app_id]\
%APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\[DeveloperName]\Witchspire\
Documents\My Games\Witchspire\
To find the exact location:
- Right-click Witchspire in your Steam library.
- Select "Manage" > "Browse local files."
- Look for a "Saves" or "SaveData" folder in the game directory.
- If not there, check the AppData and Documents paths above.
The exact path has not been verified with an in-game screenshot.
Backup Methods
Method 1: Manual backup
- Navigate to the save file location (see above).
- Copy the entire save folder.
- Paste it to a safe location (external drive, cloud storage, desktop).
- Repeat before major game updates or boss attempts.
Method 2: Steam Cloud
- Steam Cloud saves are supported for Witchspire (Official).
- Steam automatically syncs your save to the cloud when you exit the game.
- Right-click Witchspire in Steam > Properties > General > Check "Keep saves in Steam Cloud."
Method 3: Before patches
- Before a new patch, manually copy your save folder.
- Early Access games can have save-breaking changes between patches.
- Demo/Playtest saves did NOT carry over to EA launch.

Save Behavior in Co-op
| Player Role | What's Saved | Details |

Important: If the host's save is lost, the co-op world progress is gone for everyone. Always back up the host's save.
