How to Transfer Your Assassin's Creed Valhalla Save to a New PC
Last verified: 2026-09-30
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\13504 (Ubisoft Connect/Epic) or \7013 (Steam)
Copy the whole build folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\ — that's the 13504 folder for the Ubisoft Connect/Epic build or 7013 for the Steam build — and paste it to the same path on the new PC after installing Valhalla and launching it once. Then turn Ubisoft Connect cloud sync OFF until you've confirmed the right save loaded, so the cloud can't overwrite your copied files.
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Assassin's Creed Valhalla save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\13504 (Ubisoft Connect/Epic) or \7013 (Steam)" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\AssassinsCreedValhalla-save-backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1
/E mirrors the whole save tree (every profile sub-folder and slot) to a backup folder on your Desktop without touching the originals. Copy that folder to the new PC, then restore by swapping the source and destination paths.
Getting a new PC? Here's exactly which Assassin's Creed Valhalla save files to copy, where they live for the Ubisoft Connect/Epic vs Steam build, and how to move them without Ubisoft Connect cloud overwriting your progress.
Where the files live: see the full Assassin's Creed Valhalla save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Assassin's Creed Valhalla save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\, and press Enter — open your <UbisoftID> folder, then the 13504 (Connect/Epic) or 7013 (Steam) subfolder.
- Copy the entire build subfolder (all the save files inside 13504 or 7013).
- Move those files to a USB drive, cloud folder, or network share.
- On the new PC, install Assassin's Creed Valhalla and launch it once, then quit — this creates the empty savegames folder.
- Before restoring: in Ubisoft Connect open Settings and turn OFF cloud save synchronisation, so it can't push an old cloud copy over your files.
- Paste your copied files into the same \<UbisoftID>\13504 (or 7013) path on the new PC, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game, confirm your progress and gear loaded, THEN re-enable cloud sync so your good save uploads — not an older one.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Valhalla syncs through Ubisoft Connect cloud on every store version (including Steam, which still runs it through Ubisoft's launcher). The classic disaster is letting Connect cloud-sync BEFORE you've verified the restored save — it can silently replace your copied files with an older cloud version. Restore with cloud sync OFF, verify in-game, then turn it back on.
Common mistakes
- The <UbisoftID> folder is a long account-specific number — copy the whole 13504/7013 build subfolder inside it, not the launcher root.
- 13504 = Ubisoft Connect / Epic build, 7013 = Steam build. If you switched stores between PCs, the save numbers differ and won't cross over directly — keep the same store, or the game won't see the transferred save.
- Don't copy while Ubisoft Connect is mid-sync — let the cloud icon finish first, or you can grab a half-written file.
FAQ
How do I move my Assassin's Creed Valhalla save to a new PC?
Copy the 13504 (Ubisoft Connect/Epic) or 7013 (Steam) folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\ to the same path on the new PC, with Ubisoft Connect cloud sync turned OFF until you confirm it loaded.
Where is the Assassin's Creed Valhalla save folder on PC?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\ — the 13504 subfolder for Connect/Epic, 7013 for Steam. See our full AC Valhalla save file location guide for details.
Will Ubisoft cloud overwrite my transferred Valhalla save?
It can, if you leave cloud sync on and the cloud holds an older copy. Restore with sync OFF, launch to confirm the right save loaded, then re-enable sync so the good save uploads.
