SAV File Extension If you find a file with the file extension .sav on your computer, you will most likely assume the obvious, that this is a save file of some sort. You would be correct in your guess, but the important question is “What type of a save file?” The .sav file extension has at least nine distinct possible uses. (File –extension) However, the most common type of .sav files are computer “savegame” files. This file format is used frequently by PC games to save game progress . The .sav files are created when the player chooses to exit the game, although some games may only allow you to save progress at certain specified checkpoints. (Sav Extension File)

As many PC games can take upwards of 50 hours to complete, it is necessary to have a method to save and restore game progress. For example, in the popular PC game Tomb Raider “Every time you save your game…a file is created containing all the information about your game so far—Lara’s location, health status, inventory, items found and used, enemies killed, etc. When you reload a game you have previously saved, your computer interprets the savegame file and restores Lara and her world to the way it was when you saved.” (Tomb Raider)

Sav files are created by the game you are playing and are specific to that game, meaning only that game will open them. (Sharpened) This type of files are one of the more common you may encounter, as the popularity of computer games has soared. Many people mistakenly believe that PC games are mainly used by teenage boys playing fantasy or military games. This is definitely not the case in the US, where surveys show over 108 million people play PC games (USA Today) and in 2007 the most often played type of games were puzzles, board and trivia games. (The Entertainment Software Association)

Although you will normally never need to open a .sav file manually, as the game will automatically open it and restore your previous game, there are methods to transfer a .sav file to another computer. (Gametap) A few games will even allow you to edit .sav files, increasing your odds of winning by changing the circumstances---adding more health, ammunition, etc. (File Front) Generally games that allow you to edit .sav files will have “savegame editors” available through gaming or manufacturer’s sites.
