Find out how to delete your Dragon’s Dogma 2 save file on PC, Xbox, and PS5 in this detailed guide.

Deleting your Dragon’s Dogma 2 save file is surprisingly not as easy as it may seem. Dragon’s Dogma 2 has a unique save system that is quite different from most games.

In this guide, we will walk you through how to easily delete your Dragon’s Dogma 2 save file on PC (via Steam), Xbox, and PlayStation 5.

Before we get into the steps to delete saves, it’s important to understand how Dragon’s Dogma 2 handles save files. The game does not really have a traditional manual save system. Instead, there are essentially two main auto-saves:

  1. When you sleep at an inn
  2. When you quit the game

Dragon’s Dogma 2 does allow you to manually save, but these act more like temporary auto-saves rather than proper save points you can reload. This unique approach aims to prevent players from abusing saves and undoing choices/consequences too easily.
