The praise for The Alters from major media publications is a testament to the fact that the game is indeed a unique blend of survival, RPG, and adventure mixed into one. After its release on PC, on Steam alone, it has garnered over 2K Very Positive reviews. No wonder many are trying this game out. Anyway, since The Alters is a single-player experience, it’s obvious that your in-game saves are quite important. If they get corrupted, your progress will be gone and you will have to start from scratch. To make sure this doesn’t happen at all, keeping a backup of the saves is the ultimate solution. But for this, you will need to know where the game saves its progress on your PC. So, let’s get right into it.

The Alters Save File Location: Where is it (Steam/Xbox App)
Well, you might have purchased the game via Steam or via the Xbox application. So, depending on the platform you’ve chosen, the game’s progress will be stored in different directories. That said, below we have shared details for both.
Steam
To access the save files of the Steam version of The Alters, first navigate to the C drive and then open the Users folder. After this, open the folder with your username on it. Here, find the AppData folder. If you are not able to find it, select View>Show>Hidden Items. The AppData folder is hidden by default, and that’s why the previous step is necessary. Once found, open the folder and then head into the Local folder. Here, find the 11bitstudios folder, open it, and then head into The Alters folder. Inside it, open the Steam folder, then the Saved folder and then the SavedGames folder. Inside this folder, all your save files will be located.
Xbox App
Similar to the game’s Steam version, the saves files of The Alters’ Xbox app version are stored inside the Local folder found inside the AppData folder. The only catch is, inside the Local folder, instead of opening the 11bitstudios folder, open the Packages folder. Then, head over to this directory: 4063811bitstudios.TheAlters_<randomnumbers>\SystemAppData\wgs. Inside the wgs folder, your save game files will be located.
