Where Are Epic Games Game Saves Stored?
Epic Games save files are spread across multiple folders depending on the game. Here are all the paths to check, on Windows, macOS.
Cloud Save Status
Epic Cloud Saves exist for select titles only. Look for a cloud icon in your library. Most single-player games are local only.
Save Locations on Windows
Check these paths in order. One will contain your game's save folder.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\[GameName]\Saved\SaveGames\ Documents\My Games\[GameName]\ %APPDATA%\[GameName]\ %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\[GameName]\ Save Locations on macOS
The Library folder is hidden by default. Hold Option and click Go in Finder, or press Cmd + Shift + G and type the path.
~/Library/Application Support/Epic/[GameName]/ ~/Documents/[GameName]/ Can't Find the Folder?
Press Win + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%, and sort by Date Modified. Navigate into Saved\SaveGames\ inside the game folder.
Things to Know
Most Epic-published titles use Unreal Engine, which defaults to %LOCALAPPDATA%\[GameName]\Saved\SaveGames\. Live-service games like Fortnite store progress server-side via your Epic account — no local files to back up.
