What is in a Stardew Valley save folder?
Each farm has a folder with a name and a number, such as Paradise_312220102. In version 1.6, the name is the farm name. Older versions used the farmer's name. The game picks the name when you start the farm, and it does not change later. The wiki says that the folder holds two main files, and that the game needs both to load the save:
- The file with the same name as the folder, such as
JonSnow_123456789. It has no extension. It holds the whole farm as XML text. SaveGameInfo. It holds the farmer, and the Load menu reads it.
You may also see the same two names with _old at the end. Those are the save from the day before. The game keeps them so you can go back one day.
The saves live apart from the game. The wiki says that you can reinstall or update the game, and the saves stay. On a PC, every copy of the game uses the same folder, such as a Steam copy and a GOG copy.
When does Stardew Valley save?
The game saves when a day ends: when you go to bed, when you pass out from no energy, or when you pass out at 2am. If you quit in the middle of a day, you lose that day. In multiplayer, the game saves after every player goes through the end of the day.
Phones and tablets add two more saves. The game makes an emergency save when it goes to the background, for example when you press the home button. You can also tap Save Backup on the Options page. A standard save is still made each night, and it is the one that works on a PC.
How do you back up Stardew Valley saves?
- Finish the day in the game, then quit.
- Open the Saves folder for your device, from the table above.
- Make a .zip of the whole farm folder, such as
JonSnow_123456789. Keep the zip outside the Saves folder.

How do you transfer Stardew Valley saves to another PC?
Zip the farm folder on the old computer, copy the zip to the new one, and unzip it into the Saves folder there. The folder name and the main file name must stay the same.
On Steam, Stardew Valley has Steam Cloud, so Steam can sync the saves between your computers on its own. The wiki has one warning. Steam Cloud, GOG Galaxy, and phone backups can put back an older copy of a save. If a save you copied by hand goes back to an old day, start the game first. Then, before you load a save, put your copy in the Saves folder. The cloud service sees the change and keeps your copy.
A save works on a newer version of the game, but not on an older one. A save from version 1.6.15 does not load in version 1.5. Update the game on the new device first.
