Is "System.IO.IsolatedStorage" still a thing in .NET?

I'm wondering if the usage of Isolated storage is still something, someone could consider using today. Plus, is there finally a way to make it persistent across version changes of the application, or do we still need an "updater" software? However, I'm free to hear some alternatives 🙂 How you would store a local Highscore Database/File?

Indeed, I thought there might be some other solution - guess I go with the appdata

so the simplest way is to just 
var localAppData = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);
var myAppData = Path.Combine(localAppData, "ApplicationNameHere");
var pathToHighscores = Path.Combine(myAppData, "highscores.json");
var localAppData = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);
var myAppData = Path.Combine(localAppData, "ApplicationNameHere");
var pathToHighscores = Path.Combine(myAppData, "highscores.json");
