skate. – Where to Find Your Saved Footy

One of the most exciting and creative features in the new skate. is the powerful in-game Replay Editor. This tool allows you to capture your sickest lines, most mind-bending tricks, and most hilarious bails, and then edit them into cinematic video clips, or “Footy,” to share with the world.

However, after you’ve spent time crafting the perfect edit and hitting the “export” button, you might be left scratching your head and asking a simple question: where did the video file actually go?

If you’ve been searching for your saved clips, you may have been led astray by some in-game text. This guide is here to set the record straight. We’ll provide you with the exact, correct location of your exported replay files, offer a complete walkthrough on how to find this hidden folder on your PC, and give you some tips on managing your video files and unlocking the “Without the Footy, It’s Fiction” achievement.

The Misinformation: Why You Can’t Find Your Footy in “Documents”

The primary source of confusion for many players comes directly from the game itself. In the current early access build, there appears to be a piece of text or a tooltip that incorrectly informs players that their exported Footy is saved to their main “Documents” folder. As many frustrated players have discovered, this is not correct.

If you’ve been searching your Documents folder and have come up empty, do not worry—your files are not lost! They are being saved correctly, just to a different, less obvious, and hidden system folder. This is a common type of oversight or bug in early access games, and it will likely be corrected with a text update in a future patch. For now, this guide will show you where the game is actually saving your files.

The Correct Location: A Deep Dive into the AppData Folder

To find your saved replays, you first need to understand a specific hidden folder that Windows uses to store user-specific application data.

What is the AppData Folder?

AppData, short for Application Data, is a hidden directory on your PC where many programs and games store essential data like settings, configuration files, and, most importantly for us, save files and user-generated content. By using this folder, the game keeps your personal data separate from its main installation in “Program Files.”

The Exact Path for Your skate. Files

Your skate. replay files are saved in the AppData\Local subfolder. The complete, correct file path is:

C:\Users\<Your-Username>\AppData\Local\Skate\data\

You will need to replace <Your-Username> with your actual Windows username.

One Folder for Everything: Saves and Replays

This is a crucial piece of information for anyone looking to manage their game files. The game uses this exact same data folder to store both your main career save files and your exported replay videos. This is incredibly convenient. It means that if you want to create a complete backup of everything related to your skate. progress—your skater, your unlocks, and all your saved videos—you only need to copy this one single folder.

How to Find Your Replay Files: A Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Because the AppData folder is hidden by default, you can’t just click your way there from your C: drive. Here are two simple methods to access it.

The Easiest Method: The %LOCALAPPDATA% Shortcut

This is the fastest and most highly recommended method. It is a foolproof shortcut that instantly takes you to the correct location without needing to change any system settings.

1. Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard at the same time. This will open the Run command box in the corner of your screen.
2. In the Run box, type or copy and paste the following command exactly as it appears and then press Enter: %LOCALAPPDATA%
3. A File Explorer window will immediately open. The %LOCALAPPDATA% command is a Windows shortcut that instantly opens the C:\Users\<Your-Username>\AppData\Local folder.
4. From here, simply find and open the Skate folder.
5. Inside that, open the data folder. You have arrived! Inside this folder, you will find your exported replay files (likely in a common video format like .mp4) right alongside your career save files.

The Manual Method: Revealing Hidden Folders

If you prefer to navigate to the folder manually or want to have hidden folders permanently visible for other uses, you’ll first need to change a simple setting in Windows.

1. Open File Explorer from your taskbar.
2. At the top of the File Explorer window, click on the “View” tab.
3. In the ribbon that appears, find a checkbox labeled “Hidden items” and make sure it is checked. The AppData folder and other hidden system folders will now be visible.
4. Now, you can navigate to the save folder manually by following the full path: C:\Users\<Your-Username>\AppData\Local\Skate\data\

Managing Your Footy and Getting the Achievement

Now that you know where to find your exported videos, you have full control over them. You can copy these video files to your desktop, upload them directly to YouTube, TikTok, or other social media platforms to share your best tricks, or import them into a dedicated video editing program like Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve for more advanced editing.

Knowing this folder location is also key to tracking your progress for the “Without the Footy, It’s Fiction” achievement, which requires you to create and export 10 videos from the Replay Editor. If you’re grinding for this achievement, you can simply export your clips and then check this folder to ensure that they are being saved correctly and to keep a count of how many you’ve done.

So, don’t trust the in-game tooltip for now. Your precious Footy is safe and sound in the AppData\Local\Skate\data folder. Now that you know where to find your clips, get out there, start filming, and share your best lines with the world!
