How to Transfer Your Euro Truck Simulator 2 Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Euro Truck Simulator 2 save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles
Copy the whole save folder at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles (files end in game.sii) from the old PC to the exact same path on the new PC — those are your Euro Truck Simulator 2 saves.
Where the files live: see the full Euro Truck Simulator 2 save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Euro Truck Simulator 2 save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Select everything in that folder and copy it to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Euro Truck Simulator 2 on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Match your mods, DLC, and game version on the new PC before loading, or a modded/DLC save may refuse to load.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles) and paste the copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Yes, via Steam Cloud when enabled. Your whole profile (progress, garages, trucks) syncs; copy the profiles folder by hand only if cloud is off.
Common mistakes
- Copying only game.sii and skipping the save subfolder next to it, which loses your actual save slots.
- Mods/DLC mismatch: a profile using map or truck mods you haven't installed on the new PC can fail to load.

Do I need to copy any other files?
Copy the whole save folder, not just one file — these games store profiles, autosaves, and settings alongside the main save. Copying the entire folder avoids missing anything.
