SWORN save file location
On Windows the folder is under your user profile, in AppData, LocalLow, Windwalk Games, SWORN, then data, then a folder named with your Steam id. Back that folder up while the game is closed.
The path
%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Windwalk Games/SWORN/data/{64BitSteamID}
SteamDB’s cloud file list and a Reddit thread about moving a save to Game Pass both point at that tree. The id folder changes per account. File names inside it are not documented as a stable list, so I do not tell you to delete one specific file. Copy the whole id folder after you quit. Steam Cloud is on for the Steam version. Xbox has its own cloud. They are not the same files.
Why a Game Pass copy goes corrupt
A player tried six files, renamed them, and still got a corrupt-save error moving Steam progress onto the Xbox app. The poster said a developer answered that there was no way. That is the same wall as cross-progression. If Xbox says the save is corrupt, the public advice is the cloud copy on that account, not a transplanted Steam folder.
Lost progress on Steam, in the discussion threads, is often a different id folder or a machine that was mid-write. I would restore the backup folder rather than edit bytes.
