The Precinct is a fun spiritual successor to the classic GTA titles with a law enforcement twist. It’s out now on PC and consoles, and the PC port is decent, for the most part. Some technical and performance issues aside, it’s arguably the best way to enjoy it.
It’s developed on Unity, and the Steam release has a decent set of features as well, including cloud saves. However, if you want to access your local profile data, here is the save file location for The Precinct.
The Precinct Save File Location
The game seems to save progress in two locations. You can find the saves in theSaveGame_Steamfolder, and a separate The Precinct folder within the main “The Precinct” folder. It’s a bit confusing, so I recommend just copying the entire Fallen Tree Games Ltd folder, or the very first Precinct folder within it, for future use.
You can reach the same location by entering the following address in Windows Run or Windows Explorer.
The Precinct Total Save Slots
If you want to start multiple campaigns, then you’re out of luck, because there is only one campaign slot available in The Precinct.
Thankfully, you can back up your campaign save files, as I mentioned above, and start a new one if you want, without deleting your progress. I was hoping to see more save slots, but we might have to wait for a potential patch that adds them.
It does seem that the developers want you to keep playing on the same file because, after you’re done with the campaign, the open-world sandbox is available for regular shifts.

The Precinct comes with support for the following Steam features:

Ali has been writing about video games for the past six years and is always on the lookout for the next indie game to obsess over and recommend to everyone in sight. When he isn’t spending an unhealthy amount of time in Slay the Spire, he’s probably trying out yet another retro-shooter or playing Dark Souls for the 50th time.
