Cronos The New Dawn Save File Location Client SteamSteam C:\\Users\\[Windows Username]\\AppData\\Local\\Cronos\\Saved\\SaveGames Epic Games Store C:\\Users\\[Windows Username]\\AppData\\Local\\Cronos\\Saved\\SaveGames Like many other Unreal Engine 5 titles, you'll find the dedicated folder for Cronos: The New Dawn in the local folder of AppData (you will need to make sure that folders aren't hidden in Windows).

If you're playing through Steam, you will see another folder inside SaveGames with your unique Steam ID. I'm sure there is something similar for the Epic Games Store version. This contains all the necessary player data, including the save data for individual slots and various user settings. You can access the same location by entering the following address in Windows Run or Explorer: %LOCALAPPDATA%\\Cronos\\Saved\\SaveGames\\ Cronos The New Dawn Save Slots From what I understand, you can technically have more than one active playthrough, but it's not a separate slot immediately available in the main menu, like \"Slot 1\" and \"Slot 2\". The game has an autosave and a manual save, which you can create every time you're in a safe area, sort of like Dead Space. So, to truly begin a new playthrough, you need to reach the first safe area and create a new manual save. After that, the autosave will switch to whatever the active manual save is.

It also has native controller support, achievements, and family sharing support.
