Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater Save File Location on PC

KONAMI has officially revived the Metal Gear Solid series with a remake of the most beloved entry in the franchise. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a 1:1 remake of the original PS2 release, built on Unreal Engine 5 to increase visual fidelity by quite a lot.

Like other Unreal Engine 5 releases, you can easily back up your local progress data by accessing the save file location for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater Save File Location

Since the game is only available on Steam, it has a single save file location, which is similar to other Unreal Engine 5 releases. Access the location above and open the SaveGames folder, where you will find another folder with your unique Steam ID. Within it, you’ll find all your save data. For the sake of ease, I recommend backing up the entire MGSDelta folder in the local directory for future use.

You can access the same location as above by entering the following address in Windows Run or Explorer:

%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/MGSDelta/Saved/SaveGames/

Does Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater have Steam Cloud Support?

As expected, the game also supports Steam Cloud, allowing you to access your data on any device where Steam is logged in. I highly recommend keeping this setting enabled because the save files aren’t large and can be easily uploaded and downloaded to Stream’s servers. This will also help with future playthroughs when you download the game again. 

The game does run on a Steam Deck, but performance and image quality are nowhere near good, and I don’t recommend playing it on that. If you really want an MGS experience on the Steam Deck, I recommend checking out the Master Collection or Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, both of which look fantastic on the handheld device.

Overall, the remake is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to performance, but that’s common with most Unreal Engine 5 releases, especially if you set everything to the highest values in the graphics settings. By default, it’s also capped at 60 FPS, but you can unlock it using a patch.
