What is an SGS file?

SGS files mostly belong to Game applications. SGS files are game save files that store a player’s progress within specific video games.
This file type is used to record and restore game states. For example, one common use is with the STALKER game save file handled by YUKR. These files keep details such as levels, items, and in-game events.
Other uses include:
  • Sanguosha game saves used in versions managed by Dragon Go Server and game San Guo Sha. For extra details, visit the Sanguosha website.
  • Spike Chunsoft Game Archives that store game script and related data.
    • These files are not meant to be edited with a regular text editor as they often use a proprietary format with encoded sections and checksums to avoid tampering.
    FilExt.com tips: Always back up your SGS file before attempting any change and use the corresponding game application to open and view the file.

    How to open SGS files

    You need a suitable software like Game applications to open an SGS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SGS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SGS file directly in the browser:.

    SGS format details:

    Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Below is our analysis of the SGS files:
