How do I backup my Save Data?
  • Windows
  • Steam
A: Save data for offline modes is saved to your PC, so follow the steps below to back it up. Bear in mind that you are entirely responsible for operating your PC.

1. Confirm the location of the save folder created in the directory where "eFootball™ 2023" is installed. The following directory address is the default location for the folder, but it may differ depending on your system setup:
■ Steam
C:\Users\*****(\OneDrive)\Documents\KONAMI\eFootball\ST\SaveData\*****\
■ Windows
C:\Users\*****(\OneDrive)\Documents\KONAMI\eFootball\MS\SaveData\*****\
*The folder [*****] is specific to your system.
*"(\OneDrive)" means that the "OneDrive" folder may be included in the path, depending on your system.

2. Make a backup copy of the data in the save folder and store it in a separate location.

3. When you load any backed up save data, make sure you overwrite the save folder with your backup copy. If your PC is new and/or you have never launched the "eFootball™ 2023" application before, first install "eFootball™ 2023" and start the game. Next, proceed to the Top Menu (the mode selection screen) and quit "eFootball™ 2023". This will create the save folder, which you can then overwrite with your backed up data.

*After you format the game, please update "eFootball™ 2023" with the latest patch and Data Pack, otherwise you may be not able to use your save data.
