Where does Steam download game files to PC?

The Game Room

Apologies, I wouldn’t ask this here but I know very little about games, I did try googling the answer and the also checked the application forums but its just left me more confused.

I downloaded the game ‘Endling: Extinction is Forever’ in the version that also includes the soundtrack and various artwork. My question is where is the music and art stored on my PC’s hard-drive? Surely I don’t have to open the Steam application every time I want to listen to the music or access the art? Thank you in advance!

By default, apps are stored under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

There will be a subdirectory for that particular game. Whether the game put the soundtrack, etc. under that directory is a different story. That’s up to the developer.

Hhhhmmm, thank you. The game is there, but I don’t see the music or art.

Does the soundtrack show as a separate entry in your library? On the library page, I have a drop-down menu with a checkbox for “soundtracks”. I don’t have that particular one, but I do have a few others that show up. When I download the soundtrack, I can right-click on the title, go to Manage->Browse local files, and see mp3/FLAC files.

That worked, thank you! I’ll have a play around to see if I can find the art.

Sometimes to do that, you must also look deep within yourself.

Some games will have a subdirector called “extras” or the like. Or, you can go to the main directory I mentioned, and do a file search for “jpg” or “png”. If you spot the files you want, assuming using the Explorer file search, you can then right-click on one of the files and hit “open file location” to get the full listing.

The Steam web site for the DLC actually tells you exactly where it goes.

Once downloaded, wallpapers are available inside the main game folder:
SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Endling/Wallpapers

Thank you, I’ll check.

Except that folder isn’t there…

I would reiterate what @Dr.Strangelove suggested a handful of posts ago and make sure it downloaded. You should be able to download or re-download from Steam by going to it directly.

Found them, thank you. Now I just have to figure out how to change the key-bindings! Its been ten years since I last played a game.

The real files are the friends we made along the way.
