Monster Hunter Rise’s Steam save set is more than one numbered slot. The `win64_save` directory also contains shared/system data, so restoring one file in isolation can create mismatched revisions. For a dependable backup, archive the entire directory and keep the Steam account context. Microsoft Store/Xbox uses WGS, which is a separate storage model and should not be converted by renaming `.bin` files.
For this PC reference, the documented storage is Windows: Steam: <Steam-folder>userdata<user-id>1446780remotewin64_save
Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%PackagesF024294D.50755C2F12831_8fty0by30jknySystemAppDatawgs<user-id> | Linux / Steam Play: Steam Play: <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/1446780/pfx/. The known file or folder pattern is data00-1.bin
data001Slot.bin
data002Slot.bin
data003Slot.bin. Steam PC save records live in win64_save. data00-1.bin is shared/system data while numbered Slot files represent save slots. Microsoft Store/Xbox uses WGS instead of the same file layout.
Backup guidance: Copy the entire 1446780 remote/win64_save folder, not only one numbered slot. Keep data00-1.bin and all active slot files together. Steam Cloud and Xbox Cloud are documented. Steam remote-storage downloads may prefix the folder path into downloaded filenames, so restoration should preserve the expected win64_save layout. Launcher and cloud context matters because Steam and Microsoft Store use different containers. Steam remote storage exposes win64_save paths; WGS should be preserved and handled separately.
Compatibility and recovery should stay conservative. Slot files and shared/system data belong to one profile context. Mixing revisions can create a state the game did not produce. If the expected progress is not visible, If the game reports no save data, preserve the local folder first and compare it with Steam remote storage. Do not overwrite every local file with one isolated cloud slot.
