Phasmophobia Save File Location (Windows)

Phasmophobia stores its save files at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Kinetic Games\Phasmophobia 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 Phasmophobia saves are stored

  • Windows — %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Kinetic Games\Phasmophobia

How to open the save folder

  • Windows — press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Kinetic Games\Phasmophobia, and press Enter (the AppData folder is hidden in Explorer, which is why this path is so easy to miss — pasting it skips the hunt).

Backing up Phasmophobia saves automatically

  1. Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Phasmophobia — 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.

Sharing Phasmophobia saves with friends

Phasmophobia 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 Phasmophobia 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. Recent versions are kept, so a bad session is one restore away. The dedicated server alternative guide walks through the full take-turns flow.

Every way to do it, from playing live to taking turns: How to share your Phasmophobia world with friends.

Common questions

Where does Phasmophobia store save files on Windows?

Phasmophobia keeps its saves at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Kinetic Games\Phasmophobia. AppData is a hidden folder — paste the path into Explorer or the Win+R box to jump straight there. Checkpoint64 already knows this path and backs the folder up automatically.

Can I back up Phasmophobia saves automatically?

Yes — Checkpoint64 watches Phasmophobia's save folder and uploads a new version every time it changes, so you get automatic backups with version history. Free download for Windows and Linux.

How do I restore an earlier Phasmophobia save?

With Checkpoint64, open the save's version list and restore any earlier version in one click — it puts those exact files back in Phasmophobia's save folder. Without a backup tool there's usually nothing to go back to: the folder only holds the latest files.

Can I share Phasmophobia saves with friends?

Yes. Checkpoint64 syncs the Phasmophobia save folder to a shared team, so a friend can pull the latest world and keep playing even when the host is offline. A server-enforced lock means only one person can push a new save at a time, so two people can't overwrite each other — it's how a small group takes turns hosting without paying for a dedicated server.
