SaveKnight

What SaveKnight is

SaveKnight is a Windows desktop app for backing up PC game save files to the cloud and keeping earlier versions available. It scans a PC and uses the Ludusavi game database to locate saves; the download page says the database covers more than 10,000 games. The service is intended for PC games that store save files locally. It can back up saves in the background when games exit, then synchronize them across a user's gaming PCs. If a save needs to be rolled back, SaveKnight retains version history and provides manual restore. The maker says saves are encrypted in cloud storage and can be accessed from any PC. The app is open source under the MIT License and is built with Tauri and Rust. A SaveKnight account is required, and cloud sync needs an internet connection. The desktop app requires Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit, at least 4 GB RAM, and 100 MB of free disk space. The Free plan supports 2 game profiles and 500 MB of cloud storage, with unlimited version history. Knight costs $5 a month and includes 20 profiles and 20 GB of storage. Legend costs $15 a month and includes 100 profiles and 100 GB of storage. Both paid plans include unlimited history and priority support; Legend also includes early access to new features.

Who it suits

SaveKnight suits Windows PC gamers whose games keep save files locally and who want cloud backups, synchronization across gaming PCs, and earlier save versions. It may also suit people who prefer an open-source desktop app and can work within the profile and storage allowance of their chosen plan.

Limits

The Free plan allows 2 game profiles and 500 MB of cloud storage. Knight includes 20 profiles and 20 GB, while Legend includes 100 profiles and 100 GB; all listed plans include unlimited version history.

Getting started

1. Open the SaveKnight website and download the Windows desktop app.
2. Use a Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-bit PC with at least 4 GB RAM and 100 MB free disk space.
3. Create or use a SaveKnight account.
4. Choose the Free, Knight, or Legend plan.
5. Connect to the internet for cloud synchronization and let the app scan for game saves.

Verdict

Choose SaveKnight if you play supported local-save PC games and want automatic cloud backup, sync, and manual rollback to earlier versions. Look elsewhere if you need a platform beyond Windows or the Free plan's 2 profiles and 500 MB are insufficient.
