Your Subnautica saves are saved locally on your PC, but there may come a time when you want to back them up or transfer them to another device. In this article, we'll walk you through how to do just that.
First, make sure you have the game installed and have launched it at least once. Then, open File Explorer and navigate to the folder where your game save files are located. Depending on how you've installed the game (Steam or Epic Games), this will be either C:/Users/'your user name'/Local/Steam/userdata/Subnautica/Saves/ or C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/Subnautica/Saves/. Once you've found the correct folder, locate your saved data and the container file that goes with it. The container file should have an ID string at the start, while the save data should be identified by its name, followed by a number.
Once you have the container file and its matching save data, copy and paste both into the same folder on your destination platform. In most cases, the game will automatically recognize that it has the correct files and will prompt you to restart the game.
