How to Transfer Your Frostpunk 2 Save to a New PC
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Frostpunk 2 save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved\SaveGames
Copy the SaveGames folder under 11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved (the Config folder sits next to it).
Where the files live: see the full Frostpunk 2 save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Frostpunk 2 save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved\SaveGames, 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 Frostpunk 2 on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- The Microsoft Store / Game Pass build uses an MS subfolder instead of Steam under the same 11bitstudios\Frostpunk2 path — copy into the matching store folder.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%LOCALAPPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved\SaveGames) 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 on Steam with Steam Cloud enabled — Frostpunk 2 saves sync when you sign into the same account. Copy the SaveGames folder by hand only if cloud is off.
Common mistakes
- Copying between Steam and MS subfolders — they are not interchangeable.
- Forgetting the Config folder if you also want your settings.
FAQ

Will Frostpunk 2 cloud saves transfer automatically?

Do I need to copy any other files?
Copy the whole save folder, not just one file — some games store settings, backups, or profile subfolders alongside the main save. Copying the entire folder avoids missing anything.
