This sequel to the hardcore survival simulator The Forest further shocked players with its overwhelming number of deadly dangers and various challenges that must be overcome to escape the terrifying cannibal island. And since death will literally await you at every turn in these dense forests, to preserve your life, both literally and figuratively, it’s important to know where your Sons of the Forest saves are.
Since at the time of writing there is only one official version of Sons of the Forest , the path to the saves will be identical for both Steam and pirated versions:
- C:/Users/[Username]/AppData/LocalLow/Endnight/SonsOfTheForest/Saves/
But there are a couple of caveats. First, for some users, the AppData folder may be hidden by Windows security settings. To make it visible in the future , simply check the “Hidden items” box.
There is an even faster way to get to this folder if you use the key combination Win + R, enter %localappdata%low/Endnight/SonsOfTheForest/Saves% in the window that opens and click OK.
Next, you’ll see a folder with a long string of numbers, which could represent either your Steam account ID or someone else’s , depending on whether the game was purchased or downloaded. Inside, there may be two separate folders containing saves for single-player and co-op play.
For Linux and Steam Deck users , Sons of the Forest saves will always be located in this folder:
- ~/.steam/steam/userdata/[Your Steam ID]/1326470/
