What You'll Discover:
Why do they save matters by supporting their demon Hunter Wilds
Before we dive into “How”, stop “why”.
Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the games where you are drowning hundreds , if not in thousands of hours. Each hunt, every fed weapon, every palico upgrade becomes part of your story. But since it seems stable as a modern game, the SEV data is surprisingly delicate.
Here are the most common methods that players lose the progress:
Contaminated files after a sudden accident or power failure.
The buggy updates that are admitted or protected.
Swap units without proper transmission (new PC, PS5 upgrade, etc.).
Skin wash error where the wrong file reflects one.
I once lost almost the entire armor set because I didn’t see if my steam cloud was really synchronized. Imagine grinding for rare pearls only for several weeks to disappear them. Not funny.
Support is not just a “paranoid game” trick , this is an essential security measure.
How to Save Backup of Monster Hunter Wilds PC (Steam/Epic Games)
Since many hunters play on PC, you can start here.
Step 1: Save your files Find
On Steam, the stored files are usually stuck in the UserDirt folder. Here’s the possible way:
C: \ Program Files (X86) \ Steam \ Userdata \ [Your Steam ID] \ [GAME ID] \ Remote
[Your steam ID] = an unique number tied to your account.
[GAME ID] = Monster Hunter Wild’s specific ID (once released).
If you play on epic games, the pitch will be different, but it is usually low:
Documents \ my games
Step 2: Copy and paste SEV
Once you have found a folder, just copy it and glue it into a safe place. Personally, I keep a “Game Sews Backup” folder on an external SSD. You can also use cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox.
Think about it as copying your homework back to school , you may never need a copy, but if the original rain is soaked, you will be grateful.
Step 3: Use Steam Cloud as additional insurance
Most players depend on Steam Cloud, and this is good , until it works properly.
To double check:
Open your steam library.
Right , click Monster Hunter Wilds.
Select the features> General> Save the games in Steam Cloud for Monster Hunter Wilds.
Pro Tip: trust Steam Cloud completely. Understand it as a safety net, not your main rope.
How to Save Backup of Monster Hunter Wilds at PlayStation (PS5/PS4)
If you are a console hunter, there is good news: Sony is doing very right , especially if you have PlayStation Plus.

Go to Settings> Data and Games/App Settings> Saved Data (PS5/PS4).
Select upload on cloud storage.
That’s it. Every time you are connected to the Internet, your wilderness will have a sevis wash.
Option 2: Manual USB Security Copy
If you don’t shake PS+, you can still return to the USB drive:
Plug an USB stick in PlayStation.
Go to Settings> Copy Data Management> USB storage devices.
Select Monster Hunter Wilds Save the Data and a hit copy.
I just took a small USB to save myself on PS4. This old school was installed, but gave me security.
How to Save Backup of Monster Hunter Wilds on Xbox (Series X/S)
Xbox keeps it easy , Cloud Sev is automatic until you are online.
Save the computer wash for Xbox lives automatically.
If you go to another console or reinstall the game, it will pull off the cloud.
What if the sink fails?
Sometimes the Xbox may not be sinking properly. If that happens:
Check your internet connection.
Restart the console.
Settings> System> Go to Storage and confirm that clouds are capable.
I was scared when my xbox showed “out, of, link sev”. My heart is sinking, but after joining the right data. Lesson: Always double check before nervousness.
