If you want to locate your NIOH 3 saves on your PC, then you’ve come to the right place. Here is the save file location for NIOH 3 on PC and Steam Deck.

Inside the Savedata folder, you’ll find another numbered folder, the numbers is your unique Steam ID. Inside that folder will be individual folders for each save.
