How to Transfer Your Resident Evil 4 (2023 Remake) Save to a New PC

Last verified: 2026-09-14

Save file location

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2050650\remote\win64_save

Copy the win64_save folder under Steam\userdata\<your ID>\2050650\remote — it holds your progress.

Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Resident Evil 4 (2023 Remake) 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\<SteamID>\2050650\remote\win64_save" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ResidentEvil42023Remake-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 Resident Evil 4 (2023 Remake) save to a new PC

On the old PC, press Win+R, paste C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2050650\remote\win64_save, and press Enter to open the save folder.
Copy the win64_save folder under Steam\userdata\<your ID>\2050650\remote — it holds your progress.
Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
Install Resident Evil 4 (2023 Remake) 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 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\2050650\remote\win64_save) 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?

The Steam version uses Steam Cloud, so your save follows your Steam account. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose progress or unlock.

Common mistakes

Copying into a different Steam ID's userdata folder — saves must sit under your own numeric ID.
Manual paste while Steam Cloud is on can be overwritten on launch; disable Cloud for the game first if copying by hand.
