If you’re a follower of the VTubers of HoloLive, then you’re probably aware of the HoloCure game that allows fans to explore the community in a more engaging way. This is a fan-made 2D fantasy game that focuses on tackling (curing) fans who have been corrupted by evil forces. The game has been available on the game hosting platform itch.io since 2022. In the latest 0.6 update, HoloCure was made available on Steam, and so Steam Deck players have spared no time in diving into the experience. However, for fans who are on Steam Deck, accessing the game’s save files has proven to be quite a task. If you are wondering how to access the HoloCure save files on Steam Deck, keep reading this guide until the end.
The HoloLive community is quite large, which resulted in HoloCure being one of the most popular titles on itch.io. However, the port to Steam wasn’t added initially, which meant Steam and Steam Deck users were missing out on a popular title due to inaccessibility. Luckily, in a recent update, KayAnimate published the game for Steam on August 17, 2023. This port opened the game’s access to a larger section of HoloLive fans who were looking forward to joining in. Anyway, progress made in HoloCure is crucial, which is why knowing where to find the saved files is important. If you can’t access your HoloCure save files on Steam Deck, this can prove to be a growing issue.
