Understanding Save Files
Before importing save files, it’s crucial to understand their nature. Save files are digital records of your game progress, including your current level, acquired items, and Pal companions. They allow you to resume your game journey seamlessly from where you left off.
Importing Process
To import a save file, follow these steps:
1. Locate Save File:
Identify the location where your Palworld save files are stored. On PC, they are typically found in the following directory:
C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\LocalLow\PocketPair\Palworld\Saved\SaveGames
2. Copy Save File:
Navigate to the directory where your save file is located and copy the file. Ensure you copy the entire file, including its extension (e.g., “.sav”).
3. Launch Palworld:
Start the Palworld game on your desired device.
4. Open Load Menu:
From the main menu, select the “Load Game” option. This will display a list of your existing save files.
5. Click “Import Local Save…”:
At the bottom of the load menu, you will find an option labeled “Import Local Save…”. Click on this option.
6. Select Save File:
A file browser will open, allowing you to select the save file you copied earlier. Navigate to the location where you copied the file and select it.
7. Import Save File:
Once the save file is selected, click on the “Open” button. The game will proceed to import the save file into its directory.
8. Check Success:
After the import process is complete, check the list of save files in the load menu again. You should see the newly imported save file appear in the list.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while importing save files, try the following:
- Ensure the save file is in the correct format (.sav) and complete.
- Make sure you are importing the save file into the correct game version. Save files from different game versions may not be compatible.

Additional Notes:
- You can import multiple save files by repeating the import process for each file.
