Hogwarts Legacy Save File Location (Windows)

Hogwarts Legacy stores its save files at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\SaveGames on Windows. Checkpoint64 already knows this folder — it backs it up automatically and keeps earlier versions, so a corrupted or overwritten save is one click from restored.

Where Hogwarts Legacy saves are stored

  • Windows — %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\SaveGames
    or %LOCALAPPDATA%\HogwartsLegacy\Saved\SaveGames

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 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\SaveGames, and press Enter.

Backing up Hogwarts Legacy saves automatically

  1. Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Hogwarts Legacy — the save path above is already preset.
  2. Auto-backup watches the folder and uploads a new version whenever it changes, keeping full history.
  3. Restore any version in one click if a save corrupts, gets overwritten, or a mod breaks it.
