Editor’s View: Why This Matters
I specifically wrote this guide because Mega Crit rebuilt this game entirely in the Godot engine. Unlike the first game, which often kept saves right in the Steam directory, the new engine hides them deep in your system folders. Even if you don’t plan on modding, please backup your saves manually right now. Don’t lose your hard-earned card unlocks like I did.”
There is nothing worse than sinking 50 hours into Slay the Spire 2, finally unlocking Ascension 10 and discovering the perfect card synergy, only to worry about a corrupted save file or a Steam Cloud sync error wiping your progress. Whether you want to manually backup your current run, transfer your profile to another PC, or modify the config file for better performance, you first need to find where the data is hidden on your drive.
Below is the exact file path for Slay the Spire 2 on Windows and Steam Deck, along with a safer, automated method to manage your backups.

FAQ
Q: Can I transfer my Slay the Spire 2 save to another PC?
Yes. Simply copy the entire contents of the saves folder mentioned above to the exact same location on the new computer. This is a great workaround if Steam Cloud sync fails.
Q: What happens if I delete the config file?
Usually, Slay the Spire 2 will regenerate a default config file upon the next launch, resetting your audio and graphics settings to default. However, we strictly recommend renaming the file to .bak instead of deleting it permanently.
Q: Does modifying save files ban me?
In single-player mode, modifying your save file (e.g., unlocking all cards or Ascensions early) will not get you banned. However, ensure you do not use modified runs to compete on the official Daily Climb leaderboards.
Schlussfolgerung
Locating your Slay the Spire 2 save file is a crucial skill, whether you are recovering from a glitch, migrating your progress to a Steam Deck, or manually tweaking config files for better performance.
