Tabletop Simulator Save File Location (Windows & Linux)

Tabletop Simulator stores its save files at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Tabletop Simulator\Saves 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 Tabletop Simulator saves are stored

  • Windows — %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Tabletop Simulator\Saves
  • Linux — ~/.local/share/Tabletop Simulator/Saves
    or ~/My Games/Tabletop Simulator/Saves

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 %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Tabletop Simulator\Saves, and press Enter.

Backing up Tabletop Simulator saves automatically

  1. Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Tabletop Simulator — 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 Tabletop Simulator saves with friends

Tabletop Simulator 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 Tabletop Simulator 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 Tabletop Simulator world with friends.

Common questions

Where does Tabletop Simulator store save files on Windows?

Tabletop Simulator keeps its saves at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Tabletop Simulator\Saves. Checkpoint64 already knows this path and backs the folder up automatically.

Can I back up Tabletop Simulator saves automatically?

Yes — Checkpoint64 watches Tabletop Simulator'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 Tabletop Simulator save?

With Checkpoint64, open the save's version list and restore any earlier version in one click — it puts those exact files back in Tabletop Simulator'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 Tabletop Simulator saves with friends?

Yes. Checkpoint64 syncs the Tabletop Simulator 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.
