Big Walk Save File Location (Windows & Linux)

Big Walk stores its save files at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\House House\Big Walk\user_data\save_games 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.

Good to know: Linux paths unconfirmed

Where Big Walk saves are stored

  • Windows — %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\House House\Big Walk\user_data\save_games
  • Linux — ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1478500/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/House House/Big Walk/user_data/save_games

The save data here is .sav files — back up the folder as a set, not single files, so a restore always keeps them consistent.

How to open the save folder

  • Windows — press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\House House\Big Walk\user_data\save_games, 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 Big Walk saves automatically

  1. Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Big Walk — 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.

Common questions

Where does Big Walk store save files on Windows?

Big Walk keeps its saves at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\House House\Big Walk\user_data\save_games. 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 Big Walk saves automatically?

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

How do I restore an earlier Big Walk save?

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