What is a QDSAV file? A QDSAV file is a game save file used by video games developed by Quantic Dream, such as Detroit: Become Human , Heavy Rain , and Beyond: Two Souls . It stores a player's saved progress, including decisions made during gameplay, character status, unlocked scenes, and other game state data. QDSAV files enable the player to resume the game from where they left off without needing to start over.

More Information Quantic Dream-developed games specialize in branching storylines, where the choices players make affect how the story unfolds. The QDSAV file stores players' choices and tracks them, allowing the game to load the correct story path and character outcomes. You will likely find QDSAV files stored in the game's local save directory on a computer or console ( C:\​Users\​[username]\​Saved Games ). Most users never need to open or edit QDSAV files manually, as the game automatically reads and updates them. However, some advanced users or modders may back up these files or attempt to transfer them between systems to preserve their progress.
