How to Transfer Your Dying Light: The Beast Save to a New PC

Last verified: 2026-09-14

Save file location
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<Steam-ID>\3008130\remote\out\save

The save lives inside Steam's userdata (app id 3008130). Copy the remote\out\save folder — but because it is a Steam Cloud folder, syncing is usually automatic.

Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Dying Light: The Beast 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)\Steam\userdata\<Steam-ID>\3008130\remote\out\save" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\DyingLightTheBeast-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 Dying Light: The Beast save to a new PC

  1. On the old PC, press Win+R, paste C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<Steam-ID>\3008130\remote\out\save, and press Enter to open the save folder.
  2. Select everything in that folder and copy it to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
  3. Install Dying Light: The Beast on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
  4. The path sits inside Steam\userdata\<Steam-ID>, so it is tied to Steam Cloud by design. On the new PC the <Steam-ID> folder is different — let Steam Cloud sync first, and only copy manually if it doesn't.
  5. On the new PC, open the same path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<Steam-ID>\3008130\remote\out\save) and paste the copied files in, overwriting if asked.
  6. Launch the game and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.

Does cloud sync move it for you?

Yes, by design. The save is stored in Steam's Cloud userdata folder, so signing into the same Steam account on the new PC syncs your run automatically. Manual copying is a fallback if Cloud is disabled.

Common mistakes

FAQ

How do I move my Dying Light: The Beast save to a new PC?

Copy the save folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<Steam-ID>\3008130\remote\out\save 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 Dying Light: The Beast cloud saves transfer automatically?

Yes, by design. The save is stored in Steam's Cloud userdata folder, so signing into the same Steam account on the new PC syncs your run automatically. Manual copying is a fallback if Cloud is disabled.

Where is the Dying Light: The Beast save folder on the old PC?

It's at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<Steam-ID>\3008130\remote\out\save. 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.
