How to Transfer Your Hades Save to a New PC
Last verified: 2026-09-08
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Saved Games\Hades
Copy Profile1.sav (plus its matching Profile1.bak backups) from Documents\Saved Games\Hades to the same path on the new PC.
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Hades save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Saved Games\Hades" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Hades-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 Hades 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 Hades save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Hades save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Saved Games\Hades, 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 Hades 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\Saved Games\Hades) 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 Epic if cloud saves are enabled — signing into the same account on the new PC usually restores your run automatically. Copy Profile1.sav manually only if cloud is off or you play offline.
Common mistakes
- Copying Profile1.sav but skipping its .bak backups.
- Letting a cloud conflict overwrite the newer save — pick the newer version when prompted.
FAQ
How do I move my Hades save to a new PC?
Copy the save folder at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Saved Games\Hades 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 Hades cloud saves transfer automatically?
Yes on Steam and Epic if cloud saves are enabled — signing into the same account on the new PC usually restores your run automatically. Copy Profile1.sav manually only if cloud is off or you play offline.
Where is the Hades save folder on the old PC?
It's at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Saved Games\Hades. 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.
