The game saves progress when the in-game day ends, i.e. when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without ending the day.

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.
