My PS3 Skyrim is starting to have the dreaded lag problem. I've tested Skyrim on my PC and it works perfectly on medium settings with 60FPS@720p (and better graphics than the PS3). It is also beautiful on my 55'' plasma and the PS3 controller works once I downloaded "MotionInJoy", so I would like to continue my adventure on PC.

It is possible to migrate my PS3 save game to PC? I've invested a lot of hours on this character and I'm not really in the mood to replay lots of quests.

There is a documented way to do it on XBox360, which may give you an idea to start from. (Source) Basically, you save the game to an Xbox360 formatted USB drive, then open it on a PC with Modio. You may have to rename the file to savegame.ess.

From what I've heard, this same procedure works on PS3 as well, though I haven't tested it myself.

After looking around there is no current way to migrate your PS3 Skyrim save to the PC and Modio won't open up the PS3 copy of the save file.

You can do this by using Modio on the Xbox 360 version of Skyrim.

  1. Transfer your Skyrim save from Xbox to your PC via USB.
  2. Open Modio.
  3. From the Modio menu, select "Open a File", then "Open from Device".
  4. In the little window, open your profile.
  5. Using your mouse, right click above the Savegame.dat, extract file to your Skyrim save directory (My Documents/My Games/Skyrim).
  6. Go to the extracted file and change the extension from .dat to .ess.
  7. Now run the game... Load and enjoy!
