Crimson Desert: Save folders

Updated · Patch history

Support article 616 is the source for paths. On Windows the folder is C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Local\Pearl Abyss\CD\save. Mac Steam uses ~/Library/Application Support/Pearl Abyss/CD/save. The Mac App Store build uses ~/Library/Containers/com.pearlabyss.CrimsonDesert/Data/Library/Application Support/Pearl Abyss/CD/save. Inside save, the numbered folder is the game progress.

The same article says patch 1.14 on 16 July 2026 added cross-save between PC and consoles. Whether a future Switch 2 build joins that system is not published. A save editor can break a file. I have no official ban table to quote, so I will not invent a ban length.
