GameVault integrates with [Ludusavi](https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi), an open-source savefile manager that supports a wide variety of games. If a particular game supports cloud saves, you’ll see **“Cloud saves”** on its Game page, right above your personal progress summary.

The **"Cloud Saves" indicator** is **not** guaranteed to be **100% accurate** due to the nature of DRM-free games. It simply checks whether the game name **closely matches** an entry in the **[Ludusavi manifest](https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi-manifest)**. You can see what game it matched to by hovering over the up- or download buttons. In some cases, even if it does match, your specific installation might not be supported. This is **just an indicator**, and **false positives or negatives** can occur. The only way to be sure is to **test it yourself**. As a rule of thumb, if a game is **popular and well-documented on [PCGamingWiki](https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/)** - and therefore in the [Ludusavi manifest](https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi-manifest) - it is **more likely to be supported**.

With your savefiles stored in the cloud, you can install the same game on another device and immediately access the same save state. Just launch the game, and GameVault will seamlessly load your existing progress. Whether you’re on a second PC or coming back after a fresh install, your saves will always be there.
