Are Mafia 3 saves backed-up to the Cloud/How do I manually back-up my saves?
For Mafia 3 on PC (Steam), when I exit the game, I notice that there is no Cloud upload. Does that mean the saves are just local, like Just Cause 3? Is there a way to back them up manually?
Best Answer
In order to find the local saves, you'll want to open Windows Explorer to the following location:
C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\2K Games

Mafia 3 uses an auto-save system as its sole method of saving the game. You cannot manually save your game via a menu, which has led to a lot of criticism from the gaming community. Instead, you need to rely on the auto-save system to pick up any of your achievements as you play through the game.How do I manually save in Mafia 3?
