How to Install

Important: Always backup your existing save files before installing. Copy your current save folder to a safe location so you can restore your own progress if needed.

Download and extract the .zip file to your desktop.

Open your save folder: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Horizon Zero Dawn\Saved Game\[profile]\

Backup your existing save files by copying them to a safe location.

Copy the extracted save files into the save folder, overwriting existing ones.

Launch Horizon Zero Dawn and select Continue or Load Game from the main menu.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition on Steam/Epic stores saves in Documents, not in Steam Cloud only — but if Steam Cloud is enabled, disable it before installing so it doesn't overwrite the new save. Note: the 2024 Remastered edition uses a different folder.
