Save File Locations

Here’s where you can find your High on Life save files depending on where you purchased the game:

Steam or Other Store Purchases: Your saves will be under C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Oregon\Saved\SaveGames\

Xbox Game Pass Version: For the Game Pass edition, saves are stored in C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Packages\2637SquanchGamesInc.HighonLife_mh7dg3tfmz2cj\SystemAppData\wgs\<your user ID>\

Now, the AppData folder is hidden by default, so you’ll need to unhide hidden files and folders before you can access it.

Also, keep in mind that the saved files may be encrypted or synced to the cloud only. This can prevent accessing them locally on your PC.

Transferring Save Files Between Platforms

Some gamers have reported being able to transfer High on Life saves between platforms by finding the encrypted save file folder and renaming the files to match their save on the other platform.

However, success seems to vary by game, so this workaround isn’t guaranteed.

Using cloud syncing services like Steam Cloud or Xbox Cloud will be the most reliable way to move your saves between platforms. But even with cloud syncing, local save file copies are still created that you may be able to access using the file locations mentioned above.

Tweaking Settings with Config Files

In addition to your save files, High on Life also stores configurable text files under C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Oregon\Saved\Config\WinGDK\

These config files allow you to manually tweak graphics settings and other options by editing the values they contain. Just be sure to back up the files first in case things go wrong!
