Saved Game Files

Windows

Saved game files, stored as XML, are located in the AppData\Roaming folder on Windows. To find the saved games folder:

• Open the start menu and type "%APPDATA%" without quotes into the search bar and press enter.
• Locate the folder "StardewValley".
• Within "StardewValley" is a folder "Saves" that contains all saved game files. Each character has their own subfolder in "Saves".

Make sure that your computer is showing hidden files.

OR

• Copy and paste this path: %AppData%\StardewValley\Saves\

Saved games will transfer between different copies of the game (i.e. from a DRM-Free copy to a Steam copy or between two different users).

• After 1.07 update, when you save games, a copy of your save will be created in the same documents named as"***.old".

Linux

On linux, the saved games are in ~/.config/StardewValley/Saves/

OSX

• Copy this path: /Users/yourusername/.config/StardewValley/Saves

• Then, using Finder>Go>Go to Folder, paste the path when prompted.
