Anyway to access recent cloud saves?

Shane_48k · Aug 19, 2022

I just fixed an issue where I kept getting a message on my Xbox that said I don't have enough save data space. I was able to fix it by resetting my Xbox while keeping apps and games. But when I loaded up Minecraft my saves were severely outdated ,the latest ones being 2 months ago. When I tried to boot up this old save it crashed the game (I'm assuming the file is corrupted). Is there any way at all to access or troubleshoot the game to see if my recent files are still saved in the cloud? I've tried resetting the console but that didn't restore anything

Hi, Shane_48k! thank you for reaching out.

My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing some issues with your Minecraft saves.

When you do a factory reset, either by 'keeping games and apps' or removing 'everything', all local saves are removed from your console; this means that every time you launch a game for the first time after the reset, your console will automatically check the cloud for backups and download the most recent ones. You can usually tell this is happening because your console will display a message that goes along the lines of "Syncing data for...".

Unfortunately, it seems your console has already downloaded your most recent cloud saves available for Minecraft.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards.

cloud is for game saves only anyways

Hi,

Once you sign in to your account, you will have access to all digital purchases associated to that account.

You will also have access to all of your most recent cloud saves made on that account.

I hope this helps!

You wouldn't be allowed to transfer game saves from your Xbox one to your 360. All of the game save data is in the cloud, so if you are worried about your backwards compatible games and their saves, it would be in the cloud and when you log into your
360 the games saves would be there as long as you have a Gold members.

You would not be able to access Xbox One game saves in that way, but the 360 wouldn't use those anyways.

Hope that helps

Hi

You should not lose any cloud game saves, With Xbox One games if the save version held online is more recent to the one that is held on your console the next time you start this game when connected to Xbox Live the latest game save will be downloaded to
your console. As for Xbox 360 games if your gold membership expired you should still be able to access the cloud game save in the normal way.
