Where Is the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor Save File Location?

When you play games on Steam, your progress is saved in one of two ways: either locally on your PC or on Steam’s servers through Steam Cloud.

Steam Cloud is a feature that stores your game saves online. It will back up character data, levels, settings, and progress. Then, you can access them from any computer. All games have local saves, but not all games support the cloud save.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor supports the Steam cloud save, but you should make sure you have enabled the cloud save in Settings.

Some people also want to know the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor save file location on their PCs, because they want to transfer the save files to another PC. On Windows, the DRG Survivor save location is %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Funday Games/DRG Survivor. The save file is named drgs.dat.

In addition, you may also see a backup of the save file, which is named drgs.dat_backup.
