RE4 Remake uses Steam Cloud by default.
To check or disable it:
Steam Library → Right-click RE4 Remake → Properties → General → Steam Cloud


Often, after a reinstall or playing on a Steam Deck, Steam will display:

"There is a conflict between your local files and the cloud version."

Which do you choose?

Pro Tip: Before a big Windows update or PC migration, manually back up your data.bin. Then, right-click RE4R → Properties → Installed FilesVerify integrity of game files. This syncs Steam Cloud properly.


It is important to understand the difference between manual saves and auto-saves to avoid losing progress.
