Game Hub / Save Reference

Hades II Save Files & Tools

Hades II PC save location, backup, file-format, launcher, cloud-sync, and compatibility reference. This Game Hub documents save-file facts without implying that a game-specific Save Editor is available.

01 / Overview

Save reference at a glance.

Game Hubs separate documented save-file facts from actual Tool support. A Game Hub can be useful even when no custom editor exists.

Hades II deliberately has its own Saved Games root and should be backed up independently from the original Hades. The familiar Profile*.sav naming can tempt a user to assume cross-game compatibility, but SaveEditor treats the names as organizational similarity only. The safe workflow is to copy the Hades II folder as a set, label the backup with build/date, and restore only into the same game/storefront. Microsoft Store remains separate because its data is contained in WGS.

For this PC reference, the documented storage is Windows: %USERPROFILE%Saved GamesHades II ; Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%PackagesSupergiantGamesLLC.HadesII_q53c1yqmx7phaSystemAppDatawgs. The known file or folder pattern is Profile*.sav. Hades II uses a dedicated Saved Games/Hades II root and Profile*.sav naming. It is a separate save generation from Hades even though the profile concept is similar.

Backup guidance: Back up every Profile*.sav in the Hades II directory before experimenting with a slot. Preserve the whole WGS tree on Microsoft Store. Steam Cloud, Epic cloud, and Xbox Cloud are documented. Launcher and cloud context matters because Do not put Hades I Profile*.sav files in the Hades II directory. Microsoft Store uses a WGS container instead of the normal profile directory.

Compatibility and recovery should stay conservative. Profile naming similarity to the first Hades does not imply file-format compatibility. Treat the sequel as its own data format and restore only same-game snapshots. If the expected progress is not visible, If a profile does not appear, confirm the folder is Hades II rather than Hades, then check the storefront and cloud conflict state before replacing files again. SaveEditor.com only labels a game-specific editor as available when a separate linked Tool has a verified operational runtime; this reference page by itself is not an editor claim.

Compatibility note

Profile naming similarity to the first Hades does not imply file-format compatibility. Treat the sequel as its own data format and restore only same-game snapshots.

02 / Save locations

Where the save files are stored.

05 / Backup

Protect the original before editing.

Save editing should be reversible. Keep an untouched copy outside the active save directory before replacing, converting, repairing, or modifying a save.

  1. 01
    Close the game.

    Avoid modifying a save while the game or launcher may still be writing to it.

  2. 02
    Copy the entire relevant save set.

    Some games use multiple files, profile folders, metadata, or companion files rather than one isolated save.

  3. 03
    Store the backup elsewhere.

    Use a separate folder or archive so cloud sync or the game cannot overwrite the untouched backup.

  4. 04
    Edit a copy, then validate.

    Follow the exact compatibility and processing notes on the Tool page before replacing the active save.

Game-specific backup note

Back up every Profile*.sav in the Hades II directory before experimenting with a slot. Preserve the whole WGS tree on Microsoft Store.

06 / Troubleshooting

When a save is missing or rejected.

Start with reversible checks. Do not delete or overwrite the only copy while diagnosing a path, cloud-sync, version, or format problem.

Game-specific notes

If a profile does not appear, confirm the folder is Hades II rather than Hades, then check the storefront and cloud conflict state before replacing files again.

A

Confirm the correct profile.

Games, launchers, and operating systems may keep separate save folders for different users, editions, or profiles.

B

Check cloud synchronization.

A cloud service can restore an older file or overwrite a local change. Preserve both copies before resolving a conflict.

C

Check Tool compatibility.

A matching filename does not prove a matching format. Verify platform, game version, extension, and Tool support state.

D

Restore the untouched backup.

If the game rejects a modified save, return to the original backup before attempting another change.
