Save File Location

Monster Hunter: World uses Steam Cloud for saves by default, which means that your game saves won't be stored in your Documents or Saved Games folders like most other games. Thankfully, your MHW save files are still relatively easy to access, you can find them at this path:

Steam library location > userdata > a folder named after your Steam3ID > 582010 > remote

If you need help finding that location, we've got you covered! Just follow these steps:

1. Open File Explorer - you can do this by right clicking your start menu button and clicking File Explorer
2. Go to your Steam library folder. This is usually at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam, if it isn't there see this guide to locate it and then return.
3. Go into the userdata folder.
4. Go into the folder named after your Steam3ID. If there's only one folder, it'll be that one.
5. Go into the 582010 folder, and then the remote folder
6. And that's you inside your save files folder! Your MHW save file should be named something like SAVEDATA1000
