Where to Find Forza Horizon 4 Save Files

Sometimes searching for game save files becomes problematic due to the multitude of folders, their encrypted names, and the like. In this guide, we'll tell you where to find the save files for the popular racing simulator Forza Horizon 4 depending on the platform.

How to Find Forza Horizon 4 Save Files on Xbox

When playing races on Xbox, you don't need to worry about where to look for save files if necessary. All game saves on this platform are stored in the cloud and are automatically restored when reinstalling the game.

Where to Find Forza Horizon 4 Save Files on Windows

If the game is installed on Windows, then you will need to search through folders. Additional actions may be required to view hidden folders. Save files for most games are usually stored in the AppData folder in the Users section of the C drive.

There can be two different paths to Forza Horizon 4 save files on a computer. The first is most common:

  1. Open drive C and go to the Users folder;
  2. Select the folder with your system username (for example, User or Admin);
  3. Open the AppData folder, then Local;
  4. Next, find the Packages folder and within it Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_8wekyb3d8bbwe;
  5. Open the SystemAppData folder, where the needed files are stored.

The full path to the files looks as follows:

C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_8wekyb3d8bbwe/SystemAppData

If you can't find the save files using the first method, then open Explorer and enter the following search query:

%localappdata%/Packages/Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_8wekyb3d8bbwe/SystemAppData/wgs

The %localappdata% query will automatically take you to a folder with various data stored on the local disk. The wgs folder will be the place where the saves are stored.
