Here's exactly where Dragon Age: The Veilguard stores your save on every platform, how to open the folder, and how to back it up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam / EA app)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games\ . Both the Steam and EA app builds use this same folder.

PlayStation 5
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 Series X|S
My games & apps > Dragon Age: The Veilguard > 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

On PC, Veilguard syncs through Steam Cloud and/or the EA app cloud, so your saves follow your account across machines. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose progress.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Dragon Age: The Veilguard stores PC saves in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games, and BOTH Steam Cloud (Steam build) and the EA app cloud (EA build) sync that same folder. A conflict shows up if you played offline, moved between two PCs, or launched the game once through each store — cloud sync overwrites, it never merges, so the launcher can silently replace your newer local save with an older cloud copy. Back up the save games folder before you let Steam or the EA app resolve anything.

  1. Fully exit Veilguard and close Steam and the EA app before touching files, so neither client re-syncs mid-copy.
  2. Back up the whole folder: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games (this holds every autosave and manual slot).
  3. If you own the game on both Steam and the EA app, keep them on ONE store — launching through the other store pulls that store's separate cloud copy and can overwrite your progress.
  4. When Steam or the EA app asks which version to keep after a conflict, pick the copy with the newer timestamp; if unsure, choose to upload local so your backed-up folder wins.
  5. Restore by closing the game, temporarily disabling cloud sync for Veilguard, copying your backup back into the save games folder, then re-enabling sync.
Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

Steam Cloud or the EA app can overwrite Veilguard saves after an offline session or a store switch. Copy the whole save games folder before any sync fix:

robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Veilguard-Save-Backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1

Restore by copying files back with the game closed and cloud sync temporarily disabled, or the launcher will re-overwrite them on next launch.

Save problems & fixes

Dragon Age: The Veilguard save won't load or is missing

Confirm you're signed into the same Steam/EA account and that cloud sync finished before launch. Restore a copied save games folder if a save became corrupt after a crash.
