Moonlight Peaks Cloud Save & Cross-Platform Notes
Save behaviour differs sharply by platform — Steam Cloud is reliable for PC, while Google Play Games cloud sync had repeated failures in July 2026 patches. Never assume you can move a save between Steam and Switch.
Moonlight Peaks does not offer cross-platform save migration. Cloud features only backup within the same store ecosystem — and Android remains the least stable option as of late July 2026. Read this before juggling Steam Deck, Switch handheld, and phone installs.
Platform snapshot
- Steam / Steam Deck — Steam Cloud enabled for most players; verify the cloud icon in the launcher after sessions. Current build: 1.1.45.
- Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 — local saves plus Nintendo account backup where supported; no sync to Steam. Current build: 1.1.46 via 1.1.46.
- Google Play Games (Android) — cloud sync failed for many users at launch; builds 1.1.51 targeted infinite loading and desync. Prefer one device until Marvelous marks the issue resolved.
Corruption risks and patches
- Patch 1.1.44 — reduced save corruption when force-quitting during writes.
- Known issues — still lists investigation items for abrupt shutdowns.
- House upgrade saves — fixed in 1.1.44; update before major farmhouse expansions.
Best practices
- Exit via in-game menu; wait until saving completes — never alt-F4 during autosave.
- On Steam, confirm cloud upload before uninstalling or switching PCs.
- On Android, avoid swapping between phone and tablet until cloud patches stabilize.
- Manual backup: copy local save folders before major patches (1.2 preview included).
Demo saves
The free demo does not transfer to the full game — start fresh on retail builds regardless of cloud settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Moonlight Peaks support cross-save between Steam and Switch?
No official cross-save. Each platform stores saves locally (plus optional cloud backup on that same platform). You cannot import a Steam file into Switch or Android.
Is Google Play cloud save safe?
Treat Android cloud sync as unreliable through July 2026 — patches 1.1.47 and 1.1.51 addressed failures, but Marvelous still recommends single-device play when possible.
Can force-quitting corrupt my save?
Yes, especially during an active save write. Patch 1.1.44 reduced cases; still exit to title screen and wait for the save icon to finish before closing the app.
