Watch Dogs Save File Location (Windows)

Watch Dogs stores its save files at {UBISOFT}\274 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 Watch Dogs saves are stored

  • Windows — {UBISOFT}\274
    or {UBISOFT}\541

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}\274, and press Enter.

Backing up Watch Dogs saves automatically

  1. Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Watch Dogs — 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.
