Save file locations

Windows (Steam)

<Steam>\userdata\<SteamID>\2054970\remote\win64_save

Full path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<your Steam ID>\2054970\remote\win64_save . data000.bin is your main 'Load from Last Save'; data001Slot.bin is the last inn rest.

Steam Deck / Linux (Steam Cloud userdata)

~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/<SteamID3>/2054970/remote/win64_save

Dragon's Dogma 2 stores its save in Steam's userdata (Steam Cloud) folder, which is OS-independent — on Steam Deck/Linux it lives under your Steam install directory, not inside the Proton prefix. AppID 2054970. <SteamID3> is the numeric account folder under userdata/. This is the same location Steam syncs to the cloud, so it is safe to back up before editing.

PlayStation 5

Settings › Saved Data and Game/App Settings › Saved Data (PS5)

Console saves are sealed. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.

Xbox Series X|S

My games & apps › Dragon's Dogma 2 › Manage game › Saved data

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

Cloud saves

On PC, Dragon's Dogma 2 uses Steam Cloud, so your win64_save syncs across machines with the same account. To edit or copy a save reliably, disable Steam Cloud for the game first, otherwise Steam may re-sync and overwrite your local file. Always back up data000.bin before editing.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Dragon's Dogma 2 on PC uses Steam Cloud, so your win64_save syncs across machines on the same account and a conflict dialog appears after offline play. The .bin files do NOT merge — the older copy overwrites newer progress. data000.bin is your main 'Load from Last Save'; data001Slot.bin is the last inn rest, so back up both. PS5/Xbox saves are sealed to the console cloud.

When Steam reports the conflict, choose Cancel so nothing overwrites before you check timestamps.
Back up the local copy: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2054970\remote\win64_save (contains data000.bin and data001Slot.bin).
Exact backup command (Windows CMD): robocopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2054970\remote\win64_save" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\DD2Backup" /E
Compare the modified date of data000.bin to your last real session — the most recent one is your true run.
In the Steam dialog pick "Upload to Steam Cloud" if local is newer, "Download" if the cloud is newer.
Before editing or copying a save, turn OFF Steam Cloud for Dragon's Dogma 2 in game Properties — otherwise Steam re-syncs and overwrites data000.bin.

Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

Dragon's Dogma 2 keeps a single hard-slot save in Steam userdata, so a bad cloud sync is unrecoverable without a copy. Back up win64_save before verifying files:

robocopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2054970\remote\win64_save" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\DD2-Save-Backup" /E

Replace <SteamID> with your numeric id; 2054970 is DD2's app id. Because DD2 has no manual saves, this backup is the only way to roll back a mistake.

How to open the save folder

Open your Steam folder (default C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam).
Open userdata, then the folder named with your numeric Steam ID.
Open 2054970 › remote › win64_save (2054970 is Dragon's Dogma 2's app ID).
Copy data000.bin (and data001Slot.bin) somewhere safe before editing.

Save problems & fixes

Dragon's Dogma 2 save won’t load or says it’s corrupt

Many games keep an automatic backup next to the save (a .bak or numbered copy) — close the game, copy that backup over the broken file, and reopen. On Steam, also right-click the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.

My Dragon's Dogma 2 save is missing or the folder looks empty

You are usually looking one level too high — open the numbered profile / Steam-ID sub-folder inside the path above, not the parent. If it is still empty, cloud sync may not have finished writing before the game overwrote the local copy; reconnect and let the cloud sync finish before launching.

Dragon's Dogma 2 progress rolled back after a cloud save conflict

When Steam or the console reports a save conflict, always keep the version with the LATER timestamp. Choosing the older cloud copy overwrites newer local progress — the most common cause of “lost hours.” If unsure, disable cloud sync, back up the local folder first, then re-enable it.
