This article deals with the format of a save game file for the PC version of GTA 4.
Location
By default, the game places its save game files into the "%LocalAppData%\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames\user_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\" folder where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is a 16-character string tied to the user's Games for Windows Live account.
The save files themselves are named in the format SGTA4XX where XX represents the in-game slot number. There are 12 slots available in the game (1-12) plus an additional auto-save slot (SGTA400).
Format Details
- Save file size varies but is typically just under 2 megabytes.
- Byte order is little endian. For example, the number 3452 (0x0D7C) is represented as as 0x7C 0x0D.
- A savegame consists of 32 data blocks, two blocks with metadata and a checksum number.
Savegame Metadata
A savegame file starts with this block, which has a constant length of 0x110 bytes.
OFFSET | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
0x00 | dword | savegame version number |
0x04 | dword | savegame size in bytes |
0x08 | dword | global variables size (?) |
0x0C | char[4] | "SAVE" string |
0x10 | wchar_t[128] | Name of last mission passed |
0x110 | end |
Notes:
- Savegame version number value is set under the [SAVEGAME_VERSION_NUMBER] section in the GTA IV/common/data/version.txt file
- Last mission name is prefixed with either "TLAD - " or "TBoGT - " for Episodes From Liberty City saves
Data Blocks
Each data block consists of the 5 characters BLOCK followed by a variable amount of data; in general, each block has its own unique internal format. Following the BLOCK character is always a dword specifying the size of the block, starting at the beginning of BLOCK characters.
Block 0: SimpleVars
OFFSET | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
0x00 | char[5] | a "BLOCK" string |
0x04 | dword | size of block in bytes (always 0xB9) |
0x09 | dword | start of data; see below |
OFFSET | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
0x00 | byte[32] | unknown data |
0x20 | dword | length (ms) of in-game minute |
0x24 | dword | weather timer (?) |
0x28 | dword | in-game month |
0x2C | dword | in-game day |
0x30 | dword | in-game hours |
0x34 | dword | in-game minutes |
0x38 | dword | in-game day of week |
0x3C | byte[116] | unknown data |
0xB0 | end |
Block 1: PlayerInfo
This block has a constant length of 0xD4 bytes.
OFFSET | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
0x00 | dword | Size of block |
0x04 | byte[18] | unknown |
0x1C | dword | Player money |
0x20 | byte[4] | unknown |
0x24 | dword | Player money (Again. Perhaps one is amount shown on screen.) |
0x28 | byte[172] | unknown |
0xD4 | end |
Block 2: ExtraContent

Block 12: CarGenerators
This block stores Car Generators managed by scripts in GTA 4. This includes mission rewards and boats or helicopters disabled before Algonquin and Alderney are unlocked.
OFFSET | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |

0x000C | float[2] | Rotation (X,Y) |
0x0014 | float[2] | Unknown (has something to do with Z rotation) |
0x001C | uint16_t | Model ID |
0x001E | uint16_t | Pool index (normally always 0) |
0x0022 | uint8_t | Color 1 |

0x0024 | uint8_t | Color 3 |
0x0025 | uint8_t | Color 4 |
0x0026 | uint8_t[5] | Unknown (flags) |
0x002B | uint8_t | Enabled (0 = disabled, 101 = enabled) |
Block 13: Stats
This block has a constant length of 0x1724 bytes and stores various statistics; most of which can be viewed the game's Stats menu.
