Grounded isn't saving in the right folder

algrandini · Aug 8, 2021

Hello all,

I'm trying to put a steam save to play in xbox. I found on the internet a lot of guides saying that Grounded from steam usually saves in the folder Saved Games/Grounded, and the xbox version saves in the folder Save Games/Grounded Windows 10.

However, my saves from xbox are not saving in that folder and I just can't find it and also can't find where the game is pulling the data from saves.

I really want to play my save from steam, but the folder that should be there is not there. And I really can't find it anywhere.

I haven't changed any game config about the save folder.

:)

How are you, mate?
Just to be clear. Do you want to run Steam saves on your PC or Xbox?

According to the PCgamingwiki

Save data goes here:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\SystemEraSoftworks.29415440E1269_ftk5pbg2rayv2\SystemAppData\wgs

If your game isn't in C:\XboxGames folder, it would be in the WindowsApps folder. But that still wouldn't be where your save files ago. In any case, most GamePass games are encrypted. However, save files and config files are not and are located elsewhere.

How to recover missing Minecraft world:

Click the start button and search %appdata%.
Find and enter the .minecraft folder.
Find the saves folder and right-click it, there should be an option called restore previous versions.

Hi ColonelCreepy,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help.

Some users playing Outer Worlds for Windows have experienced a bug with saves where the game does not properly place the saves in the right folder. Basically the "_LOCAL_" folder is not the right place the saves should be in, rather a folder in the same
path that is just a random numerical string. That is the folder you need to move the saves to from the _LOCAL_ folder. The path through WindowsApps is the game directory with the program files that is locked from accessing unless you change permissions, which
is not recommend and that is not where saves for Outer Worlds go anyway.

The solution is listed with more detail in the following thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...d-for-me/b9f0f400-de47-4d9a-a8b2-d99775826ee9

I hope this helps!

I suspect there isn't any way to do so either. If the save files are saved locally to the games folder though that would be helpful to help in manually recovering your game from a story progression bug per say. Oh well.
