Where Are American Truck Simulator Save Files Located?
American Truck Simulator stores driver profiles and saves in its own Documents folder, mirroring Euro Truck Simulator 2 exactly.
Last updated
SCS Software uses one layout for both truck sims. American Truck Simulator keeps profiles, saves, mods, and screenshots in a Documents folder of its own, well clear of the Steam library.
Profiles carry hashed folder names rather than driver names, so identifying yours means checking modification dates or the in game profile manager. Each profile folder holds its save games, which is why copying a single profile moves a whole career at once.
Where American Truck Simulator stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\American Truck Simulator
Profiles live in the profiles subfolder under hashed names. The Steam Cloud mirror sits at Steam\userdata\[your ID]\270880\remote.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move my profiles to a new PC?
Yes. Copy the profiles folder to the same path on the new PC with Steam Cloud on. Profiles are keyed to your Steam account, so mismatched accounts show an empty list instead.
Do ATS and ETS2 share profiles?
No. The two games are siblings with separate folders and separate profiles. Mods and saves stay with the game they were made for, even where the file formats look alike.
