How to Install

Important: Back up your existing Max Payne Savegames folder first. Saves with the same name will be overwritten.

1
Download and extract the .zip file to your desktop.
2
Open your save folder: C:\Users\[Name]\Documents\Max Payne Savegames\
3
Backup the existing save files in that folder by copying them elsewhere.
4
Copy the downloaded save files into that folder, overwriting if prompted.
5
Launch Max Payne, choose Load Game and pick any chapter save, or start a New Game on an unlocked difficulty.

If the Savegames folder doesn't exist yet, start a new game and play until the first auto-save so it gets created. On some Steam installs saves are kept in the savegames folder inside the game's install directory instead — if Documents is empty, check there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Max Payne save file safe to use?
Yes. These are normal single-player save files. Max Payne has no multiplayer, so nothing online is affected.
Where is the Max Payne save file located on PC?
Saves are located at: C:\Users\[Name]\Documents\Max Payne Savegames\
Which difficulties are unlocked?
All of them. Hard-Boiled, Dead on Arrival and the timed New York Minute mode are all unlocked.
Can I replay specific chapters?
Yes. There is a save at the start of every chapter, so you can load any part of the story directly.
Does this work with Max Payne 2 or 3?
No. Each Max Payne game uses its own save format. See our Max Payne 2 and Max Payne 3 save file pages.
The game crashes on startup on Windows 10/11 — is that the save?
No. That is a known compatibility issue with the original game on modern Windows. It is unrelated to the save file.
About Max Payne

Max Payne is the 2001 third-person shooter from Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Games. NYPD detective Max Payne loses his family to junkies high on a designer drug called Valkyr, and three years later, framed for murder, he goes after everyone responsible during one of the worst blizzards in New York history.

It made bullet time famous in games: slow down time and Shootdodge through rooms of mobsters with dual Berettas. The story is told through graphic-novel panels and Max's hard-boiled narration.

Unlocking every difficulty means beating the game on Dead on Arrival with only a few saves per chapter. This save gives you everything unlocked, with a save at every chapter.
