Battlefield 6 Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-09-30

Save file location (Windows (settings / controls)): %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\PROFSAVE_profile

Quick answer: On PC, Battlefield 6 stores your controls, keybinds and video settings in C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\ (the file PROFSAVE_profile, with a copy in the steam\ subfolder). The single-player campaign save lives separately at C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Battlefield Studios\Battlefield 6\SaveGames\. Multiplayer progression (rank, unlocks, loadouts) is NOT on your disk — it is tied to your EA account on the server, so reinstalling never loses it. Back up the whole Documents\Battlefield 6 folder before a big patch; a corrupt PROFSAVE_profile is what wipes your settings.
Windows (settings / controls)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\PROFSAVE_profile
Windows (campaign save)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Battlefield Studios\Battlefield 6\SaveGames
Steam Cloud (userdata)
<Steam>\userdata\<SteamID>\<AppID>\
PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series
Console system storage + platform cloud

Battlefield 6 keeps your settings and control profile in Documents, the single-player campaign save under AppData\Local, and syncs both through Steam/EA cloud. Here are the exact copy-ready paths and how to back them up before a patch or a new PC.

Save file locations

Windows (settings / controls)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\PROFSAVE_profile

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\ . Holds keybinds, controller layout, graphics and audio. A second PROFSAVE_profile lives in the steam\ subfolder for the Steam launch.

Windows (campaign save)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Battlefield Studios\Battlefield 6\SaveGames

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Battlefield Studios\Battlefield 6\SaveGames . This is the single-player story progress; AppData is hidden, so enable Hidden items or use %localappdata% in the Run box.

Steam Cloud (userdata)
<Steam>\userdata\<SteamID>\<AppID>\

Steam mirrors the settings/campaign save here and re-uploads on launch. Look for steam_autocloud.vdf in the settings folder — its presence means Cloud is active for that file.

PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series
Console system storage + platform cloud

Console campaign saves stay in the system sandbox; there is no user-accessible path. Use PS Plus cloud / Xbox cloud saves to move them. Multiplayer progression is account-bound on EA servers regardless of platform.

Cloud saves

Battlefield 6 uses two clouds at once. Multiplayer rank, weapon unlocks and loadouts are stored server-side against your EA account and can never be lost by reinstalling or moving PCs. Settings and the campaign save sync through Steam Cloud (or EA app cloud), which is why your keybinds follow you — but it also means a local edit can be overwritten by the cloud copy on next launch.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

The classic Battlefield 6 problem is 'settings won't save' or reset after a launch — almost always a cloud-vs-local conflict on PROFSAVE_profile, or a read-only/permission lock on the settings folder.

  1. Fully quit Battlefield 6 AND close Steam / the EA app before editing or restoring anything — otherwise the cloud copy overwrites your change on relaunch.
  2. If settings keep resetting, right-click the settings folder > Properties and clear the Read-only attribute; a read-only PROFSAVE_profile can't be written, so the game reloads defaults every time.
  3. To force the local copy to win after a conflict, disable Steam Cloud for Battlefield 6 (Properties > General > uncheck Steam Cloud), launch once, then re-enable it so your good copy uploads.
  4. Keep a backup of Documents\Battlefield 6\settings before patches — a mid-sync crash is the usual cause of a corrupt PROFSAVE_profile and lost keybinds.
Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

One-line backup: paste this in Command Prompt to copy your whole Battlefield 6 save folder to the Desktop before an update or PC move.

robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Battlefield 6" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\BF6-backup" /E

Run it with the game closed. To restore, swap the source and destination paths.

FAQ

Where is the Battlefield 6 save file on PC?

Settings and controls are in C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings\ (PROFSAVE_profile). The single-player campaign save is in C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Battlefield Studios\Battlefield 6\SaveGames.

Is my Battlefield 6 multiplayer progress saved locally?

No. Rank, unlocks and loadouts are stored on EA servers against your account, so reinstalling or moving to a new PC never loses them — just sign in with the same EA account.

Why do my Battlefield 6 settings keep resetting?

Usually a read-only PROFSAVE_profile or a Steam Cloud conflict. Clear the Read-only attribute on the settings folder, or disable Steam Cloud, launch once, then re-enable it.

How do I back up my Battlefield 6 save?

Copy the whole C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\Battlefield 6 folder (and the AppData\Local\Battlefield Studios campaign save) to another drive before big patches.
