Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition brings the classic RTS gem from FireFly Studios to a new and returning audience with its remastered visuals, quality-of-life improvements, and tons of newly added content. The PC release runs great on a variety of hardware and has a decent amount of customizable settings as well.
If you’re looking to track down your local progress, though, here is the save file location for Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition.
Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition Save File Location
Within theStronghold Crusader Definitive Editionfolder, you’ll see a bunch of files and additional folders, including one called “Saves”. This contains your saved content, and if you’re only interested in that, this is the one you need to back up. However, to make things easier for future playthroughs, I recommend backing up the entire Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition folder instead.
You can reach the same location by entering the following address in Explorer or Windows Run.
Can You Transfer Save Files From HD to Definitive?
No, the 2012 release of Stronghold Crusader is essentially the original game made available for hardware of the game and compatible with modern systems. The Definitive Edition is a completely different game, and the save files aren’t transferable. You will have to start your castle sim journey from scratch, which is always worth it.
Does Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition Have Cloud Saves?
Yes, Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition has cloud save support thanks to Steam Cloud. If you’re playing on multiple devices, you don’t have to worry about moving around your progress; everything works as intended.
Outside of Steam Cloud, Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition comes with support for the following Steam features as well:

When he isn’t spending an unhealthy amount of time in Slay the Spire, he’s probably trying out yet another retro-shooter or playing Dark Souls for the 50th time.
