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.

- 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.
Save problems & fixes
Frostpunk 2 save won’t load or says it’s corrupt
Many games keep an automatic backup next to the save (a .bak or numbered copy) — close the game, copy that backup over the broken file, and reopen. On Steam, also right-click the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.
My Frostpunk 2 save is missing or the folder looks empty
You are usually looking one level too high — open the numbered profile / Steam-ID sub-folder inside the path above, not the parent. If it is still empty, cloud sync may not have finished writing before the game overwrote the local copy; reconnect and let the cloud sync finish before launching.
Frostpunk 2 progress rolled back after a cloud save conflict
When Steam or the console reports a save conflict, always keep the version with the LATER timestamp. Choosing the older cloud copy overwrites newer local progress — the most common cause of “lost hours.” If unsure, disable cloud sync, back up the local folder first, then re-enable it.
