How to Transfer Your Avowed Save to a New PC
Last verified: 2026-09-14
C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Avowed
Copy the whole Avowed folder under Saved Games — it holds every save slot. The location is the same for Steam and Battle.net.
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Avowed save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Avowed" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Avowed-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.
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Avowed save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
Where the files live: see the full Avowed save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Avowed save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Avowed, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Select everything in that folder and copy it to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Avowed on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- On the new PC, open the same path (C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Avowed) and paste the copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Yes on Steam and Battle.net with cloud enabled — Avowed saves sync when you sign into the same account. The Game Pass / Xbox build syncs through Xbox cloud instead and is not interchangeable with the PC folder.
Common mistakes
- Mixing Steam/Battle.net saves with the Game Pass version — they use different storage.
- Copying one slot instead of the whole Avowed folder.
FAQ
How do I move my Avowed save to a new PC?
Copy the save folder at C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Avowed from the old PC to the exact same path on the new PC, then launch the game. Use a USB drive, cloud storage, or a network share to move the files.
Will Avowed cloud saves transfer automatically?
Yes on Steam and Battle.net with cloud enabled — Avowed saves sync when you sign into the same account. The Game Pass / Xbox build syncs through Xbox cloud instead and is not interchangeable with the PC folder.
Where is the Avowed save folder on the old PC?
It's at C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\Avowed. Paste that into the File Explorer address bar (or Win+R) to open it. See our full location guide for every platform.
Do I need to copy any other files?
Copy the whole save folder, not just one file — some games store settings, backups, or profile subfolders alongside the main save. Copying the entire folder avoids missing anything.
