Here's exactly where Frostpunk 2 stores your city's save on each platform, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before you experiment or move PCs.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved\SaveGames
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved\SaveGames . The Config folder sits next to SaveGames.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\MS\Saved\SaveGames
The Microsoft Store build uses an MS subfolder instead of Steam under the same 11bitstudios\Frostpunk2 path.
Settings › Saved Data and Game/App Settings › Saved Data (PS5)
Console saves are sealed. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.
My games & apps › Frostpunk 2 › Manage game › Saved data
Xbox saves sync automatically to your account cloud; there is no user-accessible file on disk.
Cloud saves
On Steam, Frostpunk 2 uses Steam Cloud, so your SaveGames sync across machines with the same account. If Steam reports a cloud conflict after playing offline, pick the newer version carefully. Back up the SaveGames folder before editing.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved and press Enter (use MS instead of Steam for the Microsoft Store version).
- Open the SaveGames folder.
- Copy the save files somewhere safe before editing or moving PCs.
