R.E.P.O. Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-09-11

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves

Quick answer: On PC, R.E.P.O. save files are stored in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves. Copy that folder to back up your progress before verifying files, updating, or moving to a new PC.

Windows (Steam): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves

Here's exactly where R.E.P.O. keeps your co-op run on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before a crash wipes progress.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves\ . LocalLow is hidden. Each run is its own numbered save folder inside.

Cloud saves

On PC, R.E.P.O. uses Steam Cloud, so your run syncs across machines on the same account. Close the game before restoring a backup, or Steam Cloud can overwrite your copy with the older online version on the next launch.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

In R.E.P.O. the run is saved host-side as numbered folders; the usual loss is 'my progress vanished' after the host swapped PCs — Steam Cloud pushed an older copy over the newer run on launch. Clients never keep the run locally, so only the host's AppData copy matters.

On the host PC, copy the newest numbered folder inside %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves somewhere safe before updating or moving machines.
If a run rolled back after launching on a second PC, go offline in Steam, restore your copied folder into that saves path, launch R.E.P.O. once offline to confirm the run loads, then reconnect so the correct copy uploads.
Let Steam finish syncing before closing the game on either PC — closing mid-sync is what overwrites the good run.

Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

One-line backup: paste this in Command Prompt to copy your whole R.E.P.O. save tree to the Desktop before an update or PC move.

robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\REPO-save-backup" /E

Run it with the game closed. To restore, swap the source and destination paths.

How to open the save folder

Press Win + R to open the Run box.
Type %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow and press Enter.
Open semiwork > Repo > saves to find your run folders.
Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Cloud save overwrote my newer local save (or vice-versa)

This happens when Steam Cloud syncs on launch before you restore a backup. Fully quit the game, disable Steam Cloud for it, copy your good save into AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves, launch once offline to confirm it loads, then re-enable cloud so it uploads the correct copy.

Save is missing, won't load, or shows as corrupted

Verify the game files first, then look in AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves for a backup or older copy (many games keep a .bak or a numbered rolling backup next to the live save). Copy that older file over the broken one while the game is closed. Never edit the save with the game running — that is the most common cause of corruption.

FAQ

Where is the R.E.P.O. save file on PC?

It's at C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves. Press Win+R, type %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow, then open semiwork\Repo\saves.

Does R.E.P.O. use Steam Cloud?

Yes. Your saves sync through Steam Cloud, but a local copy still lives in AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo\saves. Close the game before swapping files so Cloud doesn't overwrite them.

How do I back up my R.E.P.O. save?

Copy the whole saves folder from AppData\LocalLow\semiwork\Repo to a safe location, then paste it back to restore. Close the game first.
