The Witcher 3 Guide: Save Locations

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt—this inscription should be on the desktop of any self-respecting gamer, so that if the urge to stroll the streets of Novigrad or close all the question marks in Skellige strikes, it’s always there. And if you’ve accidentally forgotten where your save files are, here’s how to find them.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a truly great game that has united not only the gaming community but also digital video game stores . Therefore, the Steam , Epic Games Store , and GOG versions will save your progress in the same documents folder:

C:/Users/[Username]/Documents/The Witcher3/gamesaves/

Moreover, this also applies to pirated copies of The Witcher 3.

However, if you want to check out what Wild Hunt looks like on the Steam Deck , you’ll have to look elsewhere for your saves, as the portable console runs on Linux :

~/.steam/steam/userdata/[Your Steam ID]/292030/

In this case, the game files will be located in a special folder named after your Steam account number. If you have multiple Steam accounts, to avoid confusion, you can find your Steam ID in your profile settings or follow the instructions in our article on this topic.
