Here's exactly where Kingdom Come: Deliverance stores your saves on every platform, how to open the folder, and how to back them up.

Save file locations

Windows

%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\kingdomcome\saves

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Saved Games\kingdomcome\saves\ . Each save is its own subfolder (e.g. save000001) containing a whistory.dat and save data files.

PlayStation 5 / PS4

Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data

Console saves are sealed and can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.

Xbox Series X|S / Xbox One

My games & apps > <Game> > Manage game > Saved data

Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your Microsoft account; there is no user-accessible save file on disk.

Cloud saves

On PC, Kingdom Come: Deliverance uses Steam Cloud, so your saves sync across machines with the same account. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer one to avoid losing progress.

How to open the save folder

Press Win + R to open the Run box.
Type %userprofile%\Saved Games and press Enter.
Open the kingdomcome folder, then the saves folder.
Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Kingdom Come: Deliverance save won’t load or says it’s corrupt

Many games keep an automatic backup next to the save (a .bak or numbered copy) — close the game, copy that backup over the broken file, and reopen. On Steam, also right-click the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.

My Kingdom Come: Deliverance save is missing or the folder is empty

You are usually looking in the wrong sub-folder — open the numbered profile/Steam-ID folder inside the path above, not the parent. If it is still empty, cloud sync may not have finished before the game overwrote the local copy; reconnect and let the cloud sync complete before launching.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance progress rolled back after a cloud conflict

When Steam or the console reports a save conflict, always keep the version with the LATER timestamp. Choosing the older cloud copy overwrites newer local progress — the most common cause of “lost hours.” If unsure, disable cloud sync, back up the local folder first, then re-enable it.
