Save file location

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games

Copy the whole 'save games' folder under Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard — both Steam and EA app builds use this same folder.

Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Dragon Age: The Veilguard save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:

robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\DragonAgeTheVeilguard-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.

How to transfer your Dragon Age: The Veilguard save to a new PC

On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games, and press Enter to open the save folder.
Copy the whole 'save games' folder under Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard — both Steam and EA app builds use this same folder.
Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
Install Dragon Age: The Veilguard 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 (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard\save games) and paste your copied save 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 — Veilguard syncs through Steam Cloud and/or the EA app cloud, so saves follow your account. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy.

Common mistakes

Running one build (Steam) on the old PC and the other (EA app) on the new one and expecting cloud to bridge them — copy the folder manually to be safe.
Copying one save but not the whole 'save games' folder (autosaves included).
