Lies of P: How to Transfer Save File and Progress from PC Game Pass to Steam

Move all your progress from PC Game Pass to Steam — including achievements. No HxD Hex Editor required.

 

First, find your PC Gamepass save files

Your PC Gamepass save files are in this folder, there should be 5 folders and a containers.index file. You may need to tick “Hidden items” in your View bar if you can’t see the AppData folder.

C:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Neowiz.3616725F496B_r4z3116tdh636\SystemAppData\wgs\ [Your unique ID]00000000000000000000000000007B71E406

Copy all 5 folders inside this folder, and save this to a new folder on your Desktop. I called mine “Lies of P save”.

Now, the Steam part

Open Lies of P on Steam once, that will let the game create a save file. Now you will be able to find your Saved Games folder for Lies of P on Steam, right here:

Steam\steamapps\common\Lies of P\LiesofP\Saved\SaveGames\[your unique ID]

There should be six files here:

  • Account_1
  • Account_2
  • OptionsSlot
  • SaveData-1_Character_1
  • SaveData-1_Character_2
  • steam_autocloud.vdf

Time to rename, drag, and drop

(For convenience, keep the “SaveGames” window with Steam’s Lies of P open, the one with the six files.)

Go to your Desktop, open the folder you created earlier which contains the copy of your PC Game Pass save files (the new folder with 5 folders and a containers.index file).

1. Open the first folder, you will see two files. Copy the larger and longer-named file (that isn’t named something like container.4) and rename it: Account_1.sav. Drag it into the “SaveGames” folder and choose to replace the existing file.

2. Open the second folder, and you will see two files. Copy the larger and longer-named file (that isn’t named something like container.4) and rename it: OptionSlot.sav. Drag it into the “SaveGames” folder and choose to replace the existing file.

3. Open the third folder and rename the top file (again, not named container.4): SaveData-1_Character_1.sav. Drag it into the “SaveGames” folder and choose to replace the existing file.

Open Lies of P on Steam

Et voilà. As the logos load, you should be hearing the sweet sound of your existing achievements being registered on Steam.

Press continue and you should pick up right where you left off on PC Game Pass.

Special thanks

I am not the best at computers, but I love the game so much I needed to figure out a way to carry over my progress on Steam. Unfortunately, the guides out there are not very detailed, so it took me a while to figure out how to do what these other more experienced users were suggesting.

As they are the ones who first figured how to transfer progression out, I would like to highlight and thank u/oki_dingoRaveKot on Steam, and also u/AliceVioletMajere for first confirming that Steam achievements do transfer over.

No thanks needed, just support and enjoy this wonderful game with me that Neowiz has created. God bless, and parry Simon for me when you see him.
