So, you have tried Clair Obscur Expedition 33? It indeed is awesome with all that it has to offer right now. That said, whether you started your journey through the Paintress’ haunting world on Game Pass or Steam, chances are you’ve already sunk hours into building your perfect Expedition team. But what if you grabbed the game on Steam and don’t want to start over from scratch? Well, the good news is that transferring your save file from Game Pass to Steam is possible, and in this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to do it.
There are many reasons why someone might want to transfer their save from Game Pass to Steam. Maybe your Game Pass subscription is ending, or perhaps you grabbed the Steam version during a sweet sale or just prefer having all your games in one library. Whatever the reason, no one wants to lose all those hard-earned hours, character builds, and story progress. Thankfully, with a little bit of file moving, you can pick up right where you left off. No need to restart your expedition from scratch!
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Transfer Save File From GamePass to Steam: Here’s how you can do it
So, without any further ado, let’s jump straight into it. Here’s exactly how you can transfer your Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 save file from Game Pass to Steam and continue your adventure without missing a beat.
Transferring saves
First of all, you have to locate your Game Pass Save Files. To do this,
- Open File Explorer on your PC.
- Navigate to the following path: “C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Packages\KeplerInteractive.Expedition33_ymj30pw7xe604\SystemAppData\wgs\\”
- (Tip: If you don’t see the AppData folder, click “View” in File Explorer > “Show” > enable “Hidden Items.”)
- Inside the wgs folder, you’ll see a bunch of weirdly named folders.
- Open the most recent one (the one modified most recently). Inside, you should find two types of files.
- A file named something like container.X. Another file with a long string of letters and numbers (e.g., 667B1F128A8F4BA6971EED5B330A062E). The correct save file is usually around 60 KB.)
Now, you will have to rename the save file to fit with the Steam version. So, after finding the correct save file, right-click on the long string file (NOT the container.X). Select Rename and change the file name to “EXPEDITION_0.sav”. Also, make sure the file extension stays as .sav if you have extensions visible.
With the save file ready to be transferred, you will have to locate your Steam Save Folder. This is usually found at: “C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Sandfall\Saved\SaveGames\”. Inside SaveGames, you’ll see another folder with a series of numbers. Open that numbered folder. If you don’t see this folder yet, simply launch Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 through Steam, start a new game, skip the cutscenes, then exit the game to generate it. Finally, close the game and head back to the saved game folders again. Inside the Steam Save folder, paste your renamed file (EXPEDITION_0.sav). If a file already exists with the same name, you can overwrite it (after backing up the old one, just to be safe).
Now, launch Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 through Steam. Go to Load Game, and your transferred progress should now be available! That brings us to the end of this guide. We hope this was helpful.
