System Folder Location for Save Data
Microsoft Store: `C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.HorizonExploreGame_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs`
Steam: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\1293830\remote`Finding your local save profile requires opening Windows File Explorer and enabling hidden files under the View settings menu. For Microsoft Store players, enter `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages` into the navigation bar and open `Microsoft.HorizonExploreGame_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs`. Inside, you will locate subfolders with long hexadecimal names storing your profile containers. Steam players must navigate to `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\1293830\remote`. Always shut down the game client and ensure background sync tasks are completely terminated before moving or replacing files inside these directories.

Forza Horizon 4 maintains distinct save architectures between its Steam release and the original Microsoft Store version. The Microsoft Store installation relies on the Windows `wgs` directory, tying save data to your specific Xbox profile container. The Steam edition handles saves inside its dedicated `userdata` directory under App ID `1293830`. Standard file pasting between platforms will cause save load errors because of platform-level file container variations. DLC expansions like Fortune Island and LEGO Speed Champions require legitimate storefront ownership; having a 100% save profile won't bypass missing DLC licenses on your account. Cloud synchronization must be managed carefully to prevent launchers from restoring older profile data over your newly installed files.
How to Apply This Save File Correctly
Essential Save File FAQs
Can I move my Microsoft Store save data over to the Steam version of Forza Horizon 4?
Steam and Microsoft Store versions use incompatible container formats, so copying files directly between these storefront directories without conversion tools causes loading failures.
Why does Forza Horizon 4 launch into the initial tutorial loop after installing the save?
The game is failing to read the new save folder due to profile account ID mismatches or cloud sync overwriting your local files upon startup.
Preventing Progress Loss: Backup Reminders
Never replace your existing profile without creating a clean desktop backup first. Copy your existing `wgs` or `1293830` folder to a separate directory outside your game paths. If Microsoft Store or Steam prompts you about cloud sync mismatches, select the local file option to force the launcher to read your new save. If you experience a save corruption error, replacing the folder with your original backup restores your career status immediately. Online public lobbies are safe for standard driving, but using memory editors to alter save values while connected to live servers risks triggering automated enforcement action.
Summary
Loading a 100% completed profile for Forza Horizon 4 provides full access to the garage, max credits, and total map clearance across all four seasons. Make sure to double-check whether you are running the Steam or Microsoft Store version to place files in the correct directory. Keep your original folder saved safely on your desktop as a backup point before pasting anything new. If the game starts from the intro scene, check your cloud settings. Drop the save in place, boot up your game, and start tuning your favorite cars right away.
