How to Transfer Your Elden Ring Nightreign Save to a New PC
Last verified: 2026-09-14
%APPDATA%\Nightreign\<Steam-ID>
Your Nightreign save is NR0000.sl2 inside a folder named with your numeric Steam ID. Copy that whole folder to the new PC.
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Elden Ring Nightreign save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "%APPDATA%\Nightreign" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\EldenRingNightreign-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 Elden Ring Nightreign save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %APPDATA%\Nightreign\<Steam-ID>, 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 Elden Ring Nightreign on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Like base Elden Ring, the folder is named with your Steam ID. If the new PC uses a different Steam account, rename the folder to match the new ID or the game creates a fresh save.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%APPDATA%\Nightreign\<Steam-ID>) 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. With the same Steam account and Cloud enabled, NR0000.sl2 syncs to the new PC automatically. Copy manually only if Cloud is off or you play offline.
Common mistakes
- Copying NR0000.sl2 but forgetting the .bak backup.
- Not matching the Steam ID folder name on the new PC.
