Stellar Blade PC Save Transfer Guide – How to Carry Over Your Demo Progress

on

Frustrated that your Stellar Blade PC demo save didn’t carry over into the full game? You’re not alone. Many players spent hours mastering Eve’s moves and exploring Ul-Khazneh, only to find their progress wiped when the full version launched.

Good news: there’s a working community-discovered method to manually transfer your demo save—no mods or advanced tools required.

🧠 Why Your Demo Save Doesn’t Carry Over Automatically

Stellar Blade's demo and full release use separate save directories—a common issue in games that offer standalone demos. So while your progress is saved, the full game doesn’t know where to look for it.

Fortunately, a simple file copy-paste from %localappdata% is all it takes to migrate your save and pick up right where you left off.

🛠️ How to Transfer Your Save from Demo to Full Game

Stellar Blade PC Save Transfer Guide
🔍 Step 1: Open Your Local AppData Folder

  1. Press Windows + R

  2. Type %localappdata% and hit Enter

  3. This will open your hidden local app data folder.

📁 Step 2: Locate the Demo Save Files

Navigate to:

%localappdata%\SB_Demo\Saved\SaveGames

💡 If you don’t see this folder, make sure you ran the demo on the same Windows account.

📂 Step 3: Copy the Save Files

  • Copy all .sav files in the folder (or the entire SaveGames directory).

  • Files may look like: Save_0001.sav, Save_0002.sav, etc.

📌 Step 4: Paste into the Full Game’s Save Folder

Navigate to the full game save path:

%localappdata%\SB\Saved\SaveGames

Paste the files here.

✅ Optional: Back up the destination folder first to avoid overwriting progress unintentionally.

🔁 Step 5: Launch the Game

Start Stellar Blade and check if your save appears in the Load Game menu.
If it’s not visible, restart the game or verify you copied the files to the correct user profile.

❗ Troubleshooting Tips

If your save still isn’t showing up:

  • Disable Steam/Epic Cloud Sync temporarily, as it can overwrite local files.

  • Make sure file names match what the full game expects (e.g., Save_00.sav).

  • Try launching the game as Administrator.

  • If you're playing through Game Pass or MS Store, the save folder may differ:

    C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\Packages\SHIFTUP.StellarBlade...\SystemAppData\wgs\

🤝 Community-Confirmed Workarounds

Players across Reddit and Steam have confirmed this method works:

🧵 “Copying the .sav files from SB_Demo to SB worked perfectly. Resumed my exact progress.”
— u/ByronicFrame

🧵 “Had to disable Steam Cloud and re-launch the game. Then the save showed up.”
— Steam Community

🧰 Additional Tips

  • Saves don’t carry settings or achievements, only in-game progress.

  • If you started a new save in the full game already, you may need to manually rename the demo files to match new ones or delete the new save first.

  • To avoid conflicts, keep a backup of both SB_Demo and SB folders before transferring.

🎮 Wrap-Up: Don’t Let Your Progress Go to Waste

Stellar Blade’s PC version might not import your demo save automatically, but this quick workaround has helped hundreds of players skip the grind. Whether you were halfway through a boss fight or just unlocking combat upgrades, your time isn’t lost.
