How to Find Where MultiVersus is Installed on Steam

Finding where MultiVersus stores its files on your PC is crucial for modding, troubleshooting, backing up saves, and customizing your experience. But for a new game like MultiVersus, the file locations can seem hidden at first glance.

Not to worry – in this detailed, 2800+ word guide, I‘ll show you exactly how to access the MultiVersus folders for both the Steam and Epic Games Store versions, plus explain why having these file locations is so useful for players.

Whether you want to install mods, make backups, peek under the hood, or resolve issues, finding the MultiVersus files is the first step!

If you downloaded MultiVersus through Steam, the game‘s installation folder will be in the standard Steam apps Common folder.

Here‘s exactly how to find it:

Launch Steam and open your Library.
Right-click on MultiVersus and select "Properties".
In the Properties window that opens, click the "Local Files" tab.
Lastly, click the "Browse…" button to open the folder containing MultiVersus.

By default, most Steam games install to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

So for MultiVersus, look for a folder called "MultiVersus" within the Common folder.

The typical full path to the MultiVersus install folder on Steam is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MultiVersus

Inside this folder is where you‘ll find:

MultiVersus.exe – The game executable
Binaries – Program files
Content – Game data like characters, textures, audio
Engine – Unreal Engine 4 files
Extras – Bonus content
Movies – Video files
Saved – Game settings and preferences

This is the core install folder that contains the MultiVersus assets and files.

Your important MultiVersus account data like unlocks and settings is stored separately from the game installation folder.

Steam keeps save files in the User‘s AppData folder. Here‘s how to find it:

Open File Explorer and paste in %localappdata% in the address bar.
Navigate to Local\MultiVersus\Saved\SaveGames.

This SaveGames folder contains your vital MultiVersus profile information:

Unlocked characters, skins, emotes
Currency and battle pass progress
Keybindings and settings
Stats and match history
Player profile details

I highly recommend backing up this SaveGames folder regularly so you don‘t lose your unlocks and account progress. More on that later.

If you downloaded MultiVersus through the Epic Games launcher instead of Steam, the file location will differ.

Here‘s how to find where Epic Games Store installs MultiVersus:

Launch the Epic Games launcher and open your Library.
Find MultiVersus in your game library and click the "…" icon next to it.
Choose Manage > View Install Folder.

By default, Epic Games Store installs to:

C:\Program Files\Epic Games

So check for a folder called MultiVersus within Epic Games.

The full path is usually:

C:\Program Files\Epic Games\MultiVersus

Just like with Steam, this is where you‘ll find the MultiVersus.exe, game data, config files, and other core game assets.

Similar to Steam, your actual MultiVersus profile data is stored in the AppData folder, separate from the game installation.

Here‘s how to find it:

Type in %localappdata% in File Explorer.
Go to Local\MultiVersus\Saved\SaveGames.

This is where your vital MultiVersus progression is stored:

Unlocked skins and characters
Currency and battle pass status
Keybinds and settings
Match history and stats
Player profile info

Be sure to back up your Epic Games‘ SaveGames folder regularly as well for safekeeping!

Now that you know where to find MultiVersus‘ installed folders and save data on both Steam and Epic Games, here are some of the main reasons accessing these file locations is so useful:

1. Install MultiVersus Mods

The MultiVersus modding scene is still young, but finding the game installation folder lets you add mods like custom skins, stages, and other tweaks.

Popular mod sites like GameBanana have guides for manually installing MultiVersus mods by placing the files in specific game folders.

While modding has risks like being banned, it allows you to customize MultiVersus far beyond the base game if you play offline.

2. Troubleshoot MultiVersus Issues

If MultiVersus is crashing or having errors, verifying the game files through Steam or Epic can scan for corrupted files and re-download any missing ones.

You can also delete specific config files causing problems so they‘ll regenerate fresh.

Plus if an update breaks mods, you can easily remove them from the install folder to get a clean slate.

3. Backup Your MultiVersus Save Data

Having your save data folder location lets you manually back up your full account progress and stats, preserving your unlocks and progression.

You can copy the SaveGames folder to external media or cloud storage. If your save gets deleted or corrupted, you can restore from backup and not lose everything.

Backing up saves is a must in case anything happens to your PC or MultiVersus profile.

4. Datamine Hidden MultiVersus Assets

Having access to the file location also lets dataminers peek inside to find unreleased MultiVersus content like upcoming character skins, voice lines, and unused assets.

While this does border on leaking spoilers, it allows fans early previews into future MultiVersus updates.

5. Create Custom MultiVersus Content

Accessing MultiVersus‘ audio, textures, models, and other assets allows content creators to utilize them for videos, art, mods, and more personal projects.

While commercial use is legally questionable, many creators leverage assets purely for non-profit transformative works.

But for personal offline creations, peeking inside MultiVersus grants handy raw materials.

If you do plan to modify MultiVersus through mods, manual edits, or file tweaks, keep these safety tips in mind:

1. Back Up Original Files

Before modding or altering any data, always back up the original files. This lets you restore if something goes wrong or you want to undo the changes.

2. Don‘t Redistribute Copyrighted Assets

Never share or upload copyrighted MultiVersus assets like character models without permission, as this can lead to legal trouble.

3. Verify File Integrity After Modding

If the game has issues after modding, use Steam or Epic‘s "Verify" function to check files and re-download any corrupt data.

4. Test Extensively Offline Before Going Online

Ensure any mods or file tweaks work properly offline first before entering online matchmaking where anti-cheat could flag your game files.

5. Use External Drives or Cloud Storage For Backups

When backing up saves or mods, don‘t just keep them on your main PC. Use external drives or cloud storage in case your computer is compromised.

As long as you take precautions, you can safely access, modify, and back up your MultiVersus files.

To wrap up this guide, here are answers to some common MultiVersus file location questions:

Q: Where are MultiVersus replays saved?

A: Replays are stored in Local\MultiVersus\Saved\Demos.

Q: How do I revert back to original MultiVersus files if I modded or edited the game?

A: Verify file integrity through Steam/Epic to re-download original assets or restore from backups.

Q: Does Easy Anti-Cheat ban me if I have mods installed?

Q: Can I transfer my MultiVersus account progress cross-platform?

A: Unfortunately progress does not transfer between different platforms or launchers.

Q: How often should I backup MultiVersus saves?

A: I recommend backing up your SaveGames folder every 1-2 weeks at minimum or before any major updates.

Q: Is datamining MultiVersus legal?

A: Datamining itself isn‘t illegal but redistributing copyrighted assets found in the files is.
