State of Decay 2: How to Import or Backup Your Steam & Microsoft Saves

Posted on March 18, 2020

How to Import and backup your saves from/to Steam or Microsoft

 

Note

As always, make sure to always make a copy of files you edit/move.

What you’ll keep/lose

You’ll get to keep your community
You will lose your legacy survivor pool (if you finished the game already)
You might lose Bounty Broker progress towards an unfinished Bounty

Microsoft Saves Location

C:\Users\[YourUsernameHere]\AppData\Local\Packages\
Microsoft.Dayton_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs\[lotsofnumbers]\[lotsofnumbers2]

The largest file is your save, and biggest community

Steam Saves Location

C:\Users\[YourUsernamehere]\AppData\Local\StateOfDecay2\Saved\SaveGames\[lotsofnumbers]\Release\v2

On the steam version you have SaveGame0.sav, SaveGame1.sav, SaveGame2.sav
For the first, second and third community slot.

When transferring from Microsoft to steam, don’t forget to fully rename the files, including the “.sav” file type

    Thanks. I’ve managed copying my active main campaign and all my Daybreak points. But there are two additional files in that Microsoft store folder. I suspect them being the Heartland save file and the legacy survivor pool. But I don’t know how Steam names these files. If I knew them the rest might be saved too.
