How to Transfer Your Frostpunk 2 Save to a New PC
Last verified: 2026-09-14
%LOCALAPPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved\SaveGames
Copy the SaveGames folder under 11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved (the Config folder sits next to it).
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Frostpunk 2 save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "%LOCALAPPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved\SaveGames" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Frostpunk2-save-backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1
/E mirrors the whole save tree (every profile sub-folder and slot) to a backup folder on your Desktop without touching the originals. Copy that folder to the new PC, then restore by swapping the source and destination paths.
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.

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.
