Expert Note: The Cloud Sync Danger
“We have all been there. You are deep into Retro Rewind – Video Store Simulator, just about to unlock the massive backroom expansion to sell your rare bootleg tapes, and your PC crashes. When you relaunch, Steam Cloud accidentally overwrites your local save with an older version from three days ago. All your newly purchased display shelves and arcade cabinets are gone. It is a store manager’s worst nightmare. I specifically wrote this guide because Unreal Engine save management can be tricky. Even if you don’t plan on using trainers for infinite cash, please back up your
SaveGamesfolder manually right now. Don’t learn this lesson the hard way.”— Catherine Hu, Senior PC Modding Specialist at XMODhub
Windows PC Save File Location (Steam & Epic Games)
(Quick Answer: Press Win + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%, and look for the RetroRewind folder.)
For players who purchased the game on Steam or the Epic Games Store, the save files are generated by Unreal Engine and are securely located in the hidden Windows AppData directory.
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\RetroRewind\Saved\SaveGames\How to navigate there quickly:
Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
Type
%localappdata% and press Enter.Scroll down and open the folder named RetroRewind.
Open the Saved folder, then the SaveGames folder. Your store progress files are located here.
If you cannot see the “AppData” folder manually, open File Explorer, click the “View” tab at the top, and check the box for “Hidden items”.
Xbox Game Pass / Microsoft Store Save Location
If you are playing Retro Rewind via PC Game Pass, Microsoft encrypts the save data and stores it in a completely different, highly protected system folder.
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Packages\BloodPactStudios.RetroRewind_Win32\SystemAppData\wgs\Inside the wgs (Windows Game Saves) folder, you will see folders with long alphanumeric strings. These are your encrypted save files. Backing these up manually is incredibly difficult because the file names are randomized and cannot be simply copy-pasted to another platform. (See the XMODhub Save Manager section below for an easier Game Pass solution).
Where to Find the Retro Rewind Config File
If you are trying to manually tweak graphics settings that are missing from the in-game management PC (such as disabling Motion Blur, forcing V-Sync off, or altering the FOV to see more of your rental aisles at once), you need to edit the configuration file.
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\RetroRewind\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.iniRight-click the GameUserSettings.ini file and select Open with Notepad. Always make a copy of the configuration file before changing values. Deleting or breaking a line of code can cause the game to crash immediately on startup.
Steam Deck / Linux Save Location
Playing Retro Rewind on the go? The Steam Deck uses Proton to emulate the Windows file structure. Your save files are buried deep inside the compatdata folder.
/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2883580/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/RetroRewind/Saved/SaveGames/2883580 represents the specific Steam App ID for the game. If you ever need to verify a game’s ID, you can find this number by looking at the store page URL on the Steam website.Troubleshooting: Steam Cloud Sync Errors
If your save file keeps disappearing or reverting to an older version where your store is missing its latest shelf upgrades, Steam Cloud might be conflicting with your local files.
1
Right-click Retro Rewind – Video Store Simulator in your Steam Library and select 屬性.
2
Under the General tab, toggle Steam Cloud to OFF.
3
Play the game, order a small batch of tapes to force an autosave, and then exit.
4
You can safely turn Steam Cloud back ON, and it should upload your newest local save to the servers, effectively overwriting the bugged cloud version.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I transfer my Retro Rewind save file to another PC?
A: Yes. For Steam and Epic users, simply copy the entire contents of the SaveGames folder mentioned above onto a USB drive, and paste it into the exact same directory path on your new computer.
Q: What happens if I accidentally delete the config file?
A: Do not panic. If you delete GameUserSettings.ini, the Unreal Engine will automatically generate a brand new, default config file the next time you launch Retro Rewind. All your graphics and audio settings will just revert to their standard defaults.
Q: Can I get banned for modifying my single-player save file?
A: No. Modifying your local save file (for example, giving yourself more cash via a trainer to buy premium posters) in a single-player environment will not result in a ban. The game has no online competitive elements that would trigger anti-cheat software.
