%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Neowiz.*\SystemAppData
Here's exactly where Lies of P stores your PC saves on Steam and Xbox Game Pass, how to open the folder, and how to back them up.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames\<UserID>\ . Save files use the .sav extension.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Neowiz.*\SystemAppData
Game Pass keeps saves in the sealed Packages folder (Neowiz publisher). Enable hidden items to see it; these are managed by the Xbox app and harder to copy raw.
Cloud saves
The Steam version syncs through Steam Cloud, so your .sav follows your Steam account across machines. If a cloud and local save disagree after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't roll back progress.
Cloud save conflict & platform recovery
On Steam, Lies of P syncs your .sav through Steam Cloud, so a conflict dialog appears if you played offline or on a second PC โ the .sav files do not merge, and picking the older copy rolls back your progress. The Xbox / Game Pass version keeps saves in a sealed Packages folder managed by the Xbox app, so it syncs separately and cannot be cross-restored with the Steam copy.
- When Steam reports the cloud conflict, choose Cancel so nothing overwrites until you verify which save is newer.
- Back up the local copy: press Win+R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames and copy the <UserID> folder somewhere safe.
- Exact backup command (Windows CMD): robocopy "%LOCALAPPDATA%\LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\LiesOfPBackup" /E
- Compare the modified date of the newest .sav against your last session on the other machine โ the most recent is your real run.
- In the Steam dialog pick "Upload to Steam Cloud" if your local .sav is newer, or "Download" if the cloud copy is newer.
- Game Pass saves live under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Neowiz.* and are managed by the Xbox app โ they will not sync with the Steam save, so keep them separate.
Lies of P keeps a single hard-slot save under a user/Steam-ID folder, so a bad cloud sync can be unrecoverable. Back it up before verifying files or moving PCs:
robocopy "%LOCALAPPDATA%\LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\LiesofP-Save-Backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1
This copies the whole SaveGames tree (your ID sub-folder included) to the Desktop. Xbox Game Pass builds save elsewhere under Packages โ this command targets the Steam path.

How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames and press Enter.
- Open the folder named with your user ID.
- Copy the .sav files somewhere safe before New Game+ or moving PCs.
Save problems & fixes
Lies of P save won't load or shows as corrupt
Steam keeps a cloud copy โ close the game fully, then verify files (right-click Lies of P > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity) and let Steam re-download the valid save. If one local .sav is broken, delete only that file so Steam Cloud restores the last good copy.
My Lies of P save is missing after switching from Game Pass to Steam
The two versions use different folders: Game Pass under Packages\Neowiz.*, Steam under LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames. Saves don't transfer automatically โ copy the .sav out of the Game Pass Packages location and into the Steam SaveGames user-ID folder.
The SaveGames folder is empty
AppData\Local is hidden โ enable 'Hidden items' in File Explorer, and make sure you launched the game at least once so the LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames path is created.
