To ensure stability, it’s wise for Silksong enthusiasts to regularly backup their game progress, even if disruptions from Steam or system issues are rare. Locating these files on your computer is straightforward, and here’s how you can access them.

Steps to secure your PC game data

Similar to its predecessor, Silksong stores player data in a comparable directory, albeit slightly modified. The primary path for accessing these files is:

C:Users[your Windows username]AppDataLocalLowTeam CherryHollow Knight Silksong

Within this directory, an 8-digit numbered folder contains individual save files labeled userX.dat, with X representing slots 1 through 4. These correspond to in-game save positions.

Duplicating the entire Silksong directory from LocalLow to another storage location offers protection against potential data corruption. This prevents Steam’s cloud sync from overwriting with damaged files that could erase your progress.

Regular backups are crucial since Steam doesn’t support alternate save locations. Frequent copies post-playthrough are ideal, but weekly archiving can also suffice.

Assign a specific folder for storing backups. Cloud services like Dropbox offer secure offsite options, though local storage in your Documents works too.
