How to Transfer Your Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Save to a New PC
Last verified: 2026-09-29
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames\<number>\
Copy the entire save folder at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames\<number>\ from the old PC to the exact same path on the new PC — it holds every slot and the game's automatic backups.
On the OLD PC, copy the entire SaveGames folder to a safe spot before you move anything — a mid-transfer interruption then can never corrupt your only copy.
robocopy "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ClairObscur-save-backup" /E
Runs in Command Prompt (Win+R -> cmd). /E keeps the full folder tree so every numbered profile and EXPEDITION_0.sav slot comes across. Move this backup folder to the new PC and drop its contents back into the same path.

How to transfer your Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames\<number>\ and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the whole folder (all slots plus any Backup sub-folder) to a USB drive, OneDrive/Google Drive, or a network share.
- Install Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on the new PC and launch it once, then close it so the empty save folder is created.
- Open the same path (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames\<number>\) on the new PC and paste your copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your progress loads before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
On PC the Steam version syncs your EXPEDITION_0.sav through Steam Cloud, so your run follows your Steam account to other computers. If Steam reports a cloud conflict after playing offline, keep the version with the later timestamp — choosing the older copy overwrites newer progress.
Common mistakes
- Copying only one slot file instead of the whole save folder — you can lose other slots and the game's backups.
- If your path contains a user-id / SteamID sub-folder, paste your files INTO the matching id folder the new install created, not next to it — the game won't read saves outside your own id folder.
- Letting Steam Cloud overwrite your restored save: quit the game after pasting so Steam uploads the copy you just restored, and if a conflict dialog appears keep the newer timestamp.
