Access to PC Game Pass save files

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello X, If you are referring to other platforms like Steam, you can try the path below.

Save games for PC Xbox Games can be found inside the “C:\Users\ YOUR USER \AppData\Local\Packages” folder

Also, I found a similar thread in our community that might help you.

Cyclone, what I mean, is that nowadays, the majority of the Game Pass games save files are in the cloud. You will be able to access them once you launch the game for the first time no matter which PC you're using, as long as you launch them with your account connected. Also, the files of the Game Pass games are not accessible nor editable. :/

This folder exists on my OneDrive tree, but it is empty. To reiterate, I can view hidden files on my computer, I am admin on my computer, I have full access/modify privileges on my C drive.

I am absolutely baffled about the location of these save files.

Some of the Game Pass version of these games have been modified by the developer to change the location of the save game. Some PC game pass titles don't even have a local save at all.

For example, Rise of the Tomb Raider, which isn't a Game Pass PC title, but can be bought from the Xbox PC store, stores its save file in an isolated UWP registry which can't be accessed.

Yes, I know it's a crazy system which no other PC distributer uses, and I'm a PC gamer myself. I like the fact the games are their as part of the service, but the implementation needs much improvement. Which is why, unless something is insanely cheap on the store, I usually buy my games from Steam.

Hi,

Game Pass PC is currently in Beta, this means that not all features are available yet.

As some games don't have cloud saves - yet, you'll need to
gain access to the Windows App folder to find the save files, as long as this folder is used for save files.

You'll need to do this on any drive where Windows Game Pass games are installed.

First, welcome to the community. Unfortunately, this is currently not possible because the structure of the saved files from steam is different from those created by the Microsoft store, even though you can have access to them and if you transferred them to steam they would not be recognized due to this.

It's also worth mentioning that steam's achievements model is different from the Xbox app, and they're different servers and services too, so it wouldn't be possible to link the same achievements you have in the Xbox app to your steam account.

There was a third-party application that converted the files, but it is currently not functional.
