This save file hands you the ‘Researched’ achievement on a silver platter. It’s a single-stage save with all puzzles solved, so you skip the entire puzzle grind in SUPERHOT. Stuck on those puzzle segments or just want the achievement without replaying every challenge? Here’s exactly where to drop the file and what happens next.
Description
One stage, all puzzles solved. Load it up, and the game sees the completed state, then pops ‘Researched’ when you hit the right menu or finish the final sequence. No other progress gets touched—your campaign data stays clean.
Save File Location
Copy the files from the archive into this folder:
- C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\LocalLow\SUPERHOT_Team\SUPERHOT\super.hot
Swap <Username> with your Windows username. The AppData folder is hidden by default—turn on ‘Show hidden files and folders’ in File Explorer if you can’t see it. Overwrite any existing files in the destination folder.

Before You Use: Backup Your Original Saves
Always back up your original saves before replacing them. Head to the same folder above, copy the super.hot file to your Desktop or somewhere safe. Want to revert later? Just paste the backup back in. Standard precaution for any save file mod.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this save file mess with my other progress or achievements?
A: No. It only unlocks ‘Researched’. Campaign progress, challenge scores, other achievements—all untouched.
Q: I replaced the file but the achievement didn’t pop. Now what?
A: Launch SUPERHOT and load the save. Go to the main menu and hit ‘Continue’ or ‘Load Game’. The achievement should trigger when you enter the puzzle-completed state. If it doesn’t, double-check the file path and make sure you overwrote the existing file.
Q: Can I use this save on another PC or after reinstalling?
A: Yeah. Copy the same .hot file into the same folder on any Windows system running SUPERHOT. The save is platform-specific (Windows) but not tied to your hardware.
Q: Does this work with the VR version?
A: Nope. This is for the standard desktop version only. The VR version uses a different save structure.
Q: I deleted my original save by accident. Can I get it back?
A: If you didn’t back up, you’re out of luck—you’ll need to replay from scratch. Always backup before replacing.
