How to Transfer Your Vampire Survivors Save to a New PC

%APPDATA%\Vampire_Survivors\saves
Copy the saves folder from %APPDATA%\Vampire_Survivors (Steam) — this holds all your unlocks and progress.
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Vampire Survivors save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "%APPDATA%\Vampire_Survivors\saves" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\VampireSurvivors-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 Vampire Survivors save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.

How to transfer your Vampire Survivors save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %APPDATA%\Vampire_Survivors\saves, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the saves folder from %APPDATA%\Vampire_Survivors (Steam) — this holds all your unlocks and progress.
- Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Vampire Survivors on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Open the same path (%APPDATA%\Vampire_Survivors\saves) on the new PC and paste your 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 PC — the Steam build uses Steam Cloud (the Epic build uses Epic cloud), so your saves folder syncs across machines on the same account. Close the game fully before swapping files.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting to close the game / let the cloud finish syncing before copying — a later sync can overwrite your restore.
- Steam and Epic use different folders (Vampire_Survivors vs Vampire_Survivors_EGS) — copy from the store you actually own the game on.
