Ubisoft Connect keeps every save it manages in one folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames. Inside is a folder named after your Ubisoft account, and inside that, one numbered folder per game. That holds for Ubisoft games bought on Steam too, because they still run through Ubisoft Connect.
Inside the savegames folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<account ID>\<game ID>
<account ID>is your Ubisoft account's ID, a 36-character string with dashes. Every account that has signed in to Ubisoft Connect on the PC gets one, so this part of the path is different for everyone.<game ID>is a number Ubisoft gives each game. Some games have more than one, as below.
Some installs keep savegames under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Ubisoft Game Launcher instead. If you installed Ubisoft Connect on another drive, savegames is inside that install folder.
Which number is which game
Many games write to more than one number. The Ubisoft Store and Steam editions of the same game usually use different ones, and some games vary by region, so there's no single right answer per game. The folder you want is whichever of these exists under your account and has recent files in it.
These are the numbers Checkpoint64 checks for each supported game, in order. Each game links to its full save location page.
Game not listed? It still saves under your account folder: sort the numbered folders by date modified to find the one it wrote to last. Checkpoint64 can back it up anyway if you add it as your own game and point it at that folder.
Moving saves to another PC or account
Because the account ID is different for every Ubisoft account, a save copied from another PC has to go into your account folder, under the same game number. Close Ubisoft Connect first, and turn off its cloud save sync while you swap files, so the cloud copy doesn't replace the files you just copied in.
Checkpoint64 handles the account folder for you. It backs up the game's folder, and a restore lands in the account folder of whoever is restoring, on whichever PC they're using.
Ubisoft Connect cloud saves
Ubisoft Connect can also sync saves to its own cloud for games that support it. When the copy on your PC and the cloud copy disagree, it asks you which one to keep. Checkpoint64 keeps every version of the folder on your PC, so picking the wrong one doesn't have to be permanent.
Backing up Ubisoft Connect saves automatically
- Install Checkpoint64 on the Windows PC you play on, and pick the game. It finds your account folder and the game's number by itself. Launch the game once first, so the folder exists.
- Leave auto-backup on. Every 60 seconds it checks the folder for changes and uploads a new version.
- Restore any version in one click, onto this PC or another one.
Ubisoft Connect backups are Windows-only for now: on a Steam Deck the launcher runs inside Proton, where Checkpoint64 can't reach the account folder yet.
