Does Pax Autocratica Demo Progress Carry Over?

See the current official answer on Pax Autocratica Demo and Prologue save support, with clear limits on what is not confirmed.

DIRECT ANSWER

Field answer

Yes for the current trial builds: an official Steam moderator stated that both the December 1, 2025 Demo and Prologue save files would be supported when Early Access begins. That answer does not confirm every older retired Demo save or prescribe manual file-copy steps.

Quick facts

  • Official answer date: December 16, 2025
  • Current Demo and Prologue were described as the same December 1 build
  • Both save types were stated to be supported at Early Access launch
  • Older retired Demo saves were not covered by the same wording
  • No manual migration path is published here

What the official answer covers

The moderator response resolves the main purchase-window question: the Demo and Prologue versions available from December 1 contained the same current trial build, and saves from both were planned for Early Access support. You do not need to choose between those two current trials solely because of save compatibility.

What it does not cover

The same response says the Demo version available before December 1 was retired and lacked later features and polish. It does not promise compatibility for every file created by that earlier build. It also does not describe Steam Cloud conflict handling, file naming, conversion prompts or a manual directory.

That boundary matters. A manual copy recipe that worked for a trial can still be wrong for the launch build, and an incorrect overwrite can be irreversible.

Safe launch-day procedure

  1. Let Steam update the game and inspect the official launch notes first.
  2. Keep the original Demo or Prologue installation and saves intact until Early Access has opened successfully.
  3. Launch Early Access and look for the supported save automatically before moving files.
  4. If progress is missing, exit without overwriting the slot and consult the official Steam hub or Discord support path.
  5. Only follow a manual migration step when Multiverse publishes or confirms that exact procedure.

This procedure protects data without pretending to know a file location that has not been verified in the live build.

COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQ

Will my Pax Autocratica Prologue save carry over?

The current official moderator answer says Prologue saves will be supported when Early Access begins.

Will an old Demo save carry over?

Support was confirmed for the current December 1 Demo build. The answer explicitly distinguishes an older retired Demo version, so this guide does not extend the promise to every historical save.

Where is the Pax Autocratica save folder?

A general save-location path has not been reverified for the Early Access build, so this page does not publish a guessed location or manual-copy procedure.
