Two of the most common technical items that a Far Cry 6 player might need to look at while playing the game are Save and Config file location. Unfortunately, finding these two files is a little tricky, and you will have to browse a lot in order to locate them. The goal of this whole article is for us to make it easy for you to locate them so that you don’t have to go through all the trouble. We are already doing it for you. Why should you do it again? Just follow the simple instructions that have been given below, and you should be easily able to locate the files.
Far Cry 6 Save File Location
In order to locate the Far Cry 6 Save files, navigate your PC using the following steps:
- Go to the C drive
- Within C drive, double-click on ‘Users’
- Go to ‘Program Files (x86)’
- Then double-click on ‘Ubisoft’
- Within ‘Ubisoft’, open ‘Ubisoft Game Launcher’
- Then double-click on ‘savegames’
- Within ‘savegames’, double-click on your user ID (this has been erased in the below screenshot)
- Finally, go to ‘5266’
Here’s a snapshot of where you need to go. Please note that the user ID has been deliberately erased. You will see your own user ID here.
Alternatively, as a faster process, just copy this path and paste in your local URL bar:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<Your User ID>\5266
Here’s a snapshot showing where you need to paste the path. Don’t forget to update the User ID.
Far Cry 6 Config File Location
In order to locate the Far Cry 6 Config file, navigate your PC using the following steps:
- Go to the C drive
- Within C drive, double-click on ‘Users’
- Then go to your user ID
- Under your user ID, go to ‘Documents’
- Then double-click on ‘My Games’
- Finally, double-click on the folder ‘Far Cry 6’
Here’s a snapshot of where you need to go. Please note that the user ID has been deliberately erased. You will see your own user ID here.
Alternatively, as a faster process, just copy this path and paste in your local URL bar:
C:\Users\<Your User ID>\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 6
Where you need to paste the path is the same as mentioned above when you are looking for the Save file location.
The default format of the Config file, as you can see in the above snapshot, is .xml. But for some reason, if there is a need for you to edit the file, then you can do that by opening it with Notepad or Wordpad.
Note: Although the Config file is editable, we strongly suggest that you don’t try to edit it unless of course, you are familiar with the Config file coding and are absolutely confident that whatever changes you do will not cause the game to break.
