Infinite Wealth uses its own LikeADragon8 directory, and that distinction matters when a player already has several Like a Dragon games installed. Backing up the wrong Sega subfolder is an easy mistake because the titles share publisher, engine lineage, and similar naming. SaveEditor therefore records the exact product root and the Steam user-ID layer. The Microsoft Store release is separated again through WGS, so this page treats it as a different storage container rather than promising drag-and-drop compatibility.
Prepare the source PC
On the source system, identify the actual Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth save root: Windows: Steam: %APPDATA%SegaLikeADragon8Steam<user-id> ; Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%PackagesSEGAofAmericaInc.ProjectElvis_s751p9cej88mtSystemAppDatawgs<user-id>. The expected file/folder pattern is Steam save records beneath LikeADragon8Steam<user-id>; Microsoft Store data is WGS-contained.. Close the game, let the active launcher finish writing and synchronizing, then make a complete offline copy rather than transferring a file that may still be open.
Preserve storefront and profile identity
Documented storefronts: Steam, Microsoft Store. Steam data is account-specific under the Steam subfolder. Microsoft Store uses a separate package/container identity. A transfer between two PCs is simplest when both systems use the same storefront/account/profile context. If the destination uses a different store or container, treat that as a migration problem rather than an ordinary restore.
Move the complete save boundary
Back up the whole LikeADragon8 Steam user-ID folder or the full Microsoft WGS container. Keep a date and storefront label with the copy. Put the copied data on the destination only after confirming the destination save path. If the game creates a new empty save first, keep that new folder as another backup so you can compare structures and revert.
Handle cloud sync deliberately
Steam Cloud and Xbox Cloud are documented for the matching editions. Decide whether the local transferred copy or cloud copy should be authoritative before launching the game. If possible, preserve both. After the transferred save loads correctly, make a fresh in-game save and let the launcher synchronize normally.
Check compatibility before blaming the transfer
Infinite Wealth uses a dedicated LikeADragon8 profile root for Steam. Microsoft Store again uses WGS, so store-to-store restoration is not merely a directory rename. Compatibility note: Do not merge Infinite Wealth data with Yakuza: Like a Dragon directories; the games have different roots and data versions even though they share a series and engine lineage. If the destination does not see the transferred progress, If a backup is not detected, verify you restored it under LikeADragon8 rather than YakuzaLikeADragon and check cloud conflict dialogs before launching repeatedly. Verify game edition/version, store, profile IDs, redirected folders, and mod/DLC dependencies before editing the save itself.
