SpeedRunners 2 Cross-Platform Progress
Carry your unlocks, ranks, and skins across every platform you play on.
SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed ships with partial cross-progression support. Your unlocks, ranked progress, and character skins carry between some platforms but not others. This page covers every supported combination and how to set up each one. The Platforms & Game Pass page covers the platform-level features; this page covers the save-data flow.
What carries between platforms
- Ranked progress: yes, within supported combinations.
- Character unlocks: yes, within supported combinations.
- Skins and trails: yes, within supported combinations.
- Custom lobby history: no, lobbies are platform-local.
- Tournament registrations: no, registrations are platform-local.
- Friend lists: partially — platform friend lists stay local, but crossplay friend codes work everywhere.
Steam Cloud (PC)
Steam Cloud saves automatically sync between any PC you sign into. If you play on Steam Deck and desktop, your progress follows you. Cloud saves also sync to the Steam Cloud web interface if you need to inspect them.
Limitations:
- Cloud saves sync between Steam-linked PCs only, not to consoles.
- Cloud saves do not sync if you are running two Steam clients simultaneously.
Xbox cloud saves
Xbox cloud saves sync automatically when you sign into your Xbox account on any Microsoft platform. This includes Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC Xbox app, and PC Game Pass.
Limitations:
- Cloud saves sync between Microsoft platforms only, not to PlayStation or Switch.
- Cloud saves do not sync to Steam unless you link your Xbox account to your Steam account through the publisher portal.
PS Plus cloud saves
PlayStation Plus subscribers get automatic cloud save sync between any PS5 or PS4 signed into the same PSN account. Sync works for SpeedRunners 2 on PS5 only.
Limitations:
- PS Plus subscription is required for cloud sync.
- Cloud saves sync between PlayStation platforms only, not to Steam, Xbox, or Switch.
Nintendo Switch cloud saves
Nintendo Account cloud saves sync automatically for any Switch signed into the same Nintendo Account. The sync is limited compared to other platforms — Nintendo’s cloud save policy is the strictest of the major consoles.
Limitations:
- Cloud saves sync between Switch consoles only.
- Cloud saves do not sync to Steam, Xbox, or PS5.

How to link Steam to Xbox
- Sign into Steam on PC.
- Open the SpeedRunners 2 in-game settings.
- Click Link Account under Cross-Platform.
- Sign in with your Xbox account when prompted.
- Confirm the link on both sides.
Once linked, your Steam progress syncs to your Xbox account, and your Xbox progress syncs to your Steam account. The link is one-way reversible — you can unlink from either side at any time.
How to link Steam to PS5
- Sign into Steam on PC.
- Open the SpeedRunners 2 in-game settings.
- Click Link Account under Cross-Platform.
- Sign in with your PSN account when prompted.
- PS Plus is required for the sync to actually push to PS5.
How to sync Xbox to PC Game Pass
The Xbox app on PC handles this automatically. Sign in with your Xbox account, install SpeedRunners 2 through the Xbox app, and your progress syncs.
What is not synced
A few things stay platform-local:
- Custom lobby settings. Lobby presets do not sync; you re-create them on each platform.
- Tournament registrations. Brackets are platform-local. You register separately on each platform.
- Friend lists. Platform friend lists stay local. Use crossplay friend codes for cross-platform friends.
- Recent opponents. The recent-opponents list is platform-local.
Save-data location
If you need to inspect your save data:
- Steam:
%APPDATA%/SpeedRunners2/saves/ - Xbox: through the Xbox app storage interface
- PS5: through PS5 storage management
- Switch: through Switch storage management
Backup before clearing platform storage; once cleared, only cloud sync can restore the data.
Common sync issues
- Progress not appearing after linking. Force a sync by signing out and back in on both sides.
- Progress appearing twice on one platform. Disconnect the duplicate link; saves merge by most-recent timestamp.
- Progress lost after console swap. Cloud saves must be downloaded manually on the new console; the game does not auto-pull.
The Crossplay page covers the broader cross-platform play features. The Platforms & Game Pass page covers the platform-level linking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Does SpeedRunners 2 have cross-progression?
Partially. Steam Cloud, Xbox cloud saves, and PS Plus sync work within their ecosystems. Cross-ecosystem sync is limited to Steam↔Xbox and Steam↔PS5 via the publisher account link.
How do I link Steam to Xbox?
Open SpeedRunners 2 in-game settings, click Link Account under Cross-Platform, and sign in with your Xbox account. The link is reversible.
Can I carry my Switch saves to Steam?
Limited. Switch cloud saves stay within the Nintendo ecosystem. You cannot directly transfer Switch saves to Steam.
Do I need PS Plus for PS5 cloud saves?
Yes — PS Plus is required for PS5 cloud save sync. Without PS Plus, saves stay on the local PS5.
What happens if I unlink my account?
Your progress stays on each platform as of the last sync. Unlinking does not delete progress; it just stops future syncs.
