Can I access my saves for a game removed from Game Pass?

So, I played World War Z for PC while it was on Gamepass. I uninstalled it after it was removed from Gamepass, but now I wish to access my saves. Is it still in the cloud, or have I lost those saves forever?

I see. If it's a game that was purchased from a different platform, you won't be able to access it. I'm sorry about that.

Ah. That's an issue, because I bought the game on a different platform.

Edit: I The game was "World War Z" while on Gamepass. I didn't plan to buy the game at all, hence why I uninstalled it. I changed my mind after getting a Steam Deck, and bought the Aftermath edition on Steam. I installed it on the computer I was previously using Gamepass to play it on, but I suspect that Steam overwrote my saves. Yeah, not my finest moment.

Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

The game saves are stored in the cloud storage of your profile. It will still be there once you load up the same game title.

You can play the game for free while you have Game Pass. If you decide to cancel Game Pass or the game is removed from Game Pass, you will no longer have access to the game. But with Game Pass you can purchase the games at a discount so you actually own
them.

1. I am using PC Game Pass on my gaming computer.

2. Yes, I played the game in February when I had game pass, and now I no longer have game pass.

3. Yes, I didn’t wanna pay $10 and have to download 80GB of content for a few megabytes of save data.

It’s unfortunate that my save data was removed from my computer just because I deleted the game. I still wanted the save data.
