:card_index_dividers: Common Steam Cloud Save Paths on Linux

1. Steam Cloud-enabled games

These are synced to:

Code

~/.steam/steam/userdata/<your_steam_id>/<app_id>/

  • <your_steam_id> is your unique Steam user ID.

  • <app_id> is the numeric ID of the game (e.g., 570 for Dota 2).

You can find your Steam ID by visiting your profile page or using steamid.io.

2. Non-cloud games or custom save paths

Some games store saves elsewhere, such as:

Code

~/.local/share/<game_name>/
~/.config/<game_name>/
~/Documents/<game_name>/

These are not synced via Steam Cloud unless the game explicitly supports it.

:file_folder: Save Location for Rockstar Games Launcher on Linux (via Steam + Proton)

When you launch a Rockstar game through Steam, it runs the Rockstar Games Launcher inside a Proton prefix, which emulates a Windows environment. The save files are stored in:

Code

~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/<Steam_app_id>/pfx/

Inside that prefix, the Rockstar Launcher behaves like it would on Windows. So the actual save path is usually:

Code

<Proton_prefix>/Users/steamuser/Documents/Rockstar Games/<Game_Name>/Profiles/<Profile_ID>/

For example, Red Dead Redemption 2 might save to:

Code

~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1174180/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Rockstar Games/Red Dead Redemption 2/Profiles/<Profile_ID>/


Hope this helps...
