How To Find Slay the Spire 2 Save Files - Save File Location

You are trying to locate your save files for Slay the Spire 2, but they are not in the main game installation folder. The game stores your progress in a hidden system directory rather than the Steam common files folder.

Why saves are hidden

Windows hides the AppData folder by default to prevent users from accidentally deleting configuration files for their installed applications. Your specific game saves are nested further inside this directory under your Steam ID.

Steps

1. 01
   Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
2. 02
   Type %appdata% into the box and press Enter to open the hidden AppData/Roaming folder.
3. 03
   Navigate to the folder labeled SlayTheSpire2 and open it.
4. 04
   Open the Steam folder, then open the subfolder labeled with your numeric Steam ID to view your save files.

Still not working?

If you do not see a SlayTheSpire2 folder in your AppData directory, ensure you have launched the game at least once to create a save file. If you are using Steam Cloud, check your cloud settings to ensure the game is synced correctly to your local machine.

Frequently asked questions

Will moving or deleting these files delete my progress?

Yes, deleting these files will remove your current save data. If you are moving them to back them up, make sure to copy them rather than cutting and pasting.

Can I edit these save files?

These files are often encrypted or formatted in a way that makes manual editing difficult and potentially risky. Modifying them could corrupt your save profile.
