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.
Known Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth save-file structure
The researched filename or folder pattern is Steam save records beneath LikeADragon8Steam<user-id>; Microsoft Store data is WGS-contained.. File-extension context: No single extension is sufficient to identify every relevant save record. The documented format notes are: 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.
Why an extension is not enough
A save filename can identify a likely container, but it does not prove the internal schema, game version, checksum rules, encryption state, or editability. 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. SaveEditor therefore separates file identification from Tool compatibility and only labels a game-specific Tool Verified when its exact profile/version evidence passes the runtime gate.
Where the format is stored
PC save locations: Windows: Steam: %APPDATA%SegaLikeADragon8Steam<user-id> ; Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%PackagesSEGAofAmericaInc.ProjectElvis_s751p9cej88mtSystemAppDatawgs<user-id>. Storefront context: Steam, Microsoft Store. Steam data is account-specific under the Steam subfolder. Microsoft Store uses a separate package/container identity. This matters because two releases can use different containers or companion files even when the visible slot name is similar.
Back up before inspecting or editing
Back up the whole LikeADragon8 Steam user-ID folder or the full Microsoft WGS container. Keep a date and storefront label with the copy. A read-only viewer is lower risk than a writer, but the live save should still be copied first. Cloud context also matters: Steam Cloud and Xbox Cloud are documented for the matching editions. Keep the original bytes available so any experiment can be reversed without relying on a cloud service or automatic backup.
What this reference does not claim
This page does not infer an undocumented checksum algorithm, encryption key, compression layer, or cross-store conversion from the file extension. Troubleshooting evidence: If a backup is not detected, verify you restored it under LikeADragon8 rather than YakuzaLikeADragon and check cloud conflict dialogs before launching repeatedly. Those questions require a verified parser/profile or a game-specific source, not a generic format guess.
