Far Cry 4 stores its save files at {UBISOFT}\971 on Windows. Checkpoint64 already knows this folder — it backs it up automatically and keeps every version, so a corrupted or overwritten save is one click from restored.
Where Far Cry 4 saves are stored
- Windows —
{UBISOFT}\971
or{UBISOFT}\856
or{UBISOFT}\420
Where two locations are listed, which one is in use depends on the install (Checkpoint64 checks them in order and uses the first that exists).
How to open the save folder
- Windows — press Win+R, paste
{UBISOFT}\971, and press Enter.
Backing up Far Cry 4 saves automatically
- Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Far Cry 4 — the save path above is already preset.
- Auto-backup watches the folder and uploads a new version whenever it changes, keeping full history.
- Restore any version in one click if a save corrupts, gets overwritten, or a mod breaks it.
Sharing Far Cry 4 saves with friends
Far Cry 4 has co-op, so the folder above usually lives on one person's PC — whoever hosts. When they're offline nobody else can carry on, and if two people play separately, one session quietly overwrites the other.
Checkpoint64 lets a small group pass one Far Cry 4 world around instead of renting a dedicated server. Whoever plays next takes a server-enforced lock, pulls the latest save, plays, and pushes it back; everyone else stays read-only until the lock frees up, so nobody saves over anybody. Every version is kept, so a bad session is one restore away. The dedicated server alternative guide walks through the full take-turns flow.
