Need to find your Absolum save file to back it up or transfer it? Our guide will show you the exact location of the save file on your PC and how to access the hidden AppData folder.

A Guide to Locating Your PC Save Game File.

Why Find Your Absolum Save File?

Knowing where your game’s save file is located is a pro gamer move. It’s not just for messing with files; it’s super useful for a few key reasons that can save you from a major rage-quit down the line.

The main reasons you’d want to find your save file are:

• Backing up your progress: If your PC dies or a save gets corrupted, having a backup means you won’t lose dozens of hours of gameplay.
• Transferring your save: Want to continue your game on a different computer? Just copy the save file over.
• Troubleshooting: Sometimes, a buggy save file can prevent a game from launching. Deleting it (after backing it up!) can often fix the issue.

The Save File Location for Absolum (PC/Steam)

Alright, let’s get straight to it. The save game file for the Steam version of Absolum is located in your AppData folder.

You can find it at this exact path: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Absolum_SaveGame_Steam

Just make sure to replace YOUR_USERNAME with your actual Windows username. The folder you’re looking for is Absolum_SaveGame_Steam.

How to Access the Hidden AppData Folder

If you try to navigate to that path, you might hit a snag: the AppData folder is hidden by default in Windows. Here are two easy ways to get to it.

The Easy Way: Using a Shortcut

This is the fastest method to jump straight into the AppData folder without changing any system settings.

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows Key + R at the same time to open the “Run” dialog box.
2. In the box, type %appdata% and press Enter.
3. This will open the AppData\Roaming folder. From here, just click on “AppData” in the address bar to go up one level, then navigate into the Local folder to find Absolum_SaveGame_Steam.

The Permanent Way: Showing Hidden Folders

If you want to be able to see the AppData folder all the time, you can change a simple setting in Windows.

1. Open File Explorer (the folder icon on your taskbar).
2. Click on the “View” tab at the top of the window.
3. Look for a “Show/hide” section and check the box next to “Hidden items.”
4. That’s it! The AppData folder will now be visible inside your user folder (C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME).

Step-by-Step Guide to Backing Up Your Save

Now that you know where the file is, here’s how to create a safe backup.

1. Navigate to the save file location using one of the methods above.
2. Find the entire Absolum_SaveGame_Steam folder.
3. Right-click on the folder and select “Copy.”
4. Paste the folder somewhere safe, like a different hard drive, a cloud storage folder (like Google Drive or Dropbox), or a USB flash drive.
