Here's exactly where Assassin's Creed Valhalla keeps your saves on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back them up before you reinstall or move to a new PC.

Save file locations

Windows (Ubisoft Connect / Epic)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\13504

Replace <UbisoftID> with your Ubisoft account folder. The Ubisoft Connect / Epic build uses the 13504 sub-folder.

Windows (Steam)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\7013

Even the Steam version runs through Ubisoft Connect, so saves are inside the launcher folder; the Steam build uses the 7013 sub-folder.

PlayStation (PS3/PS4/PS5)

Settings › Saved Data and Game/App Settings › Saved Data

Console saves are sealed and can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.

Xbox (360 / One / Series X|S)

My games & apps › <Game> › Manage game › Saved data

Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your Microsoft account; there is no user-accessible save file on disk.

Cloud saves

Assassin's Creed Valhalla syncs saves through Ubisoft Connect cloud. If a cloud and local save conflict, Ubisoft Connect asks which to keep — choose the version matching your real last session, then let it sync up.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Every PC copy of AC Valhalla — even the Steam build — runs through Ubisoft Connect, which keeps its own cloud AND a local copy in the launcher folder. When the two disagree, Ubisoft Connect asks which to keep, and picking the older one overwrites dozens of hours. The Steam and Ubisoft builds even use different numeric sub-folders (7013 vs 13504), so restoring into the wrong one loads nothing.

Close AC Valhalla and quit Ubisoft Connect completely before touching files so the cloud does not re-sync.
Back up the local saves: open C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID> and copy the 13504 folder (Ubisoft/Epic build) or 7013 folder (Steam build) somewhere safe.
Identify the newest save: inside the numeric folder the save files with the newest modified date are your latest session — match that against when you last played.
Exact backup command (Windows CMD): robocopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ValhallaSaveBackup" /E
In Ubisoft Connect, set the cloud sync so it does not auto-overwrite: if prompted at launch, choose the copy whose timestamp matches your real last session, then let it upload.
PlayStation/Xbox saves are sealed console files — back them up via PS Plus / Xbox cloud or USB; they cannot be merged with the PC Ubisoft Connect saves.

Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

Assassin's Creed Valhalla saves sit in the Ubisoft launcher tree and Ubisoft Cloud can overwrite them after a re-link. Back up the whole savegames folder before any sync fix:

robocopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ACValhalla-Save-Backup" /E

This copies every Ubisoft game's saves; Valhalla is the \13504 (Ubisoft/Epic) or \7013 (Steam) subfolder. Turn off cloud sync in Ubisoft Connect before restoring an older copy or it re-overwrites.

How to open the save folder

Press Win + R to open the Run box.
Paste C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames and press Enter.
Open your <UbisoftID> folder, then 13504 (Ubisoft/Epic) or 7013 (Steam).
Copy the save files somewhere safe; keep Ubisoft Connect cloud sync enabled.

Save problems & fixes

AC Valhalla save missing or reverted

Sign into the same Ubisoft account and let Ubisoft Connect cloud sync finish before launching. Restore a backup into the correct 13504/7013 folder if the local copy is damaged.

Can't find the savegames folder

It isn't created until you start and save a game once. If Ubisoft Connect is installed on another drive, start from that install folder and follow the savegames\<UbisoftID>\ structure.
