Monster Train 2 save file location

Windows Steam saves are under %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Shiny Shoe/MonsterTrain2. Back up the whole folder before replacing or transferring files.

Make a backup

• Close the game so the files are not being written.
• Paste the Windows folder above into File Explorer’s address bar.
• Copy the entire MonsterTrain2 folder to a dated backup outside the live folder; keep the original copy intact.
• Before a restore, preserve both the existing local files and any cloud copy. Review the client’s cloud conflict choice rather than assuming the newest timestamp is the healthiest save.

The Steam Deck can use the Steam edition’s cloud progression, but cloud sync is not a replacement for a backup. A Windows path inside a Proton prefix is not the same as a confirmed native Linux save location. The current official platform listing is Windows/macOS; do not guess a single universal Deck path or use it for a Game Pass installation.

The cross-client transfer question has conflicting public advice. Prima’s launch guide says Game Pass and Steam saves are not transferable; the dated Reddit guide describes copying the profile file successfully. Keep both claims visible and back up before attempting any manual conversion. No documented official developer-console command list was found in the checked sources. See mods for community tools and platforms for edition differences.
