How To Upload An Existing Valheim Save To Your Server

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of uploading a custom world file to your Valheim dedicated server.

If you get stuck at any time, Game Host Bros offers free save transfers. Just reach out to a bro on Discord.

Finding Your Save Files

Worlds aren't found in the game files; they are found in a different location which can be accessed by doing this.

   If you have Steam Cloud enabled, open Valheim and go to Start Game > Manage Saves > Worlds, then select your world and click Move to Local.

   Go to this file path

   %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

   Copy your world's save folder. It has the same name as your world.
