Games Don't Save on Xbox One

Hey there kkmav!

I'm sorry to hear about the issue. Are you able to connect your console to the internet to try saving the game to a new checkpoint online? Are you able to save the game beyond that point using a different account?

Let us know so we can know how to troubleshoot.

You will not lose your games saves when you upgrade to the Xbox One X from Xbox One as your game saves are stored on the Cloud.

You don't have to transfer game saves from the Xbox One to the Xbox One X.

They (game saves) will sync once your console (Xbox One X) is connect to the internet.

Hope this helps you, djdaniele95.

For anyone who happens upon this looking for a solution to the same problem, the solution that worked was starting a game on the XBox 360, playing for long enough to create a save game (in the cloud), and then loading it up on the XBox One. Still can't
find my ME2 saves on the One, but the ME3 save works. If you don't still own a 360, I don't know what to tell you.

Be aware that the saving for Xbox 360 backwards compatible games on the Xbox One is a bit more complicated than saving on an original Xbox 360, or game saves for actual Xbox One games.

The Xbox 360 games have no idea of the Xbox One's concept of "suspending" games and multitasking.

So if you are done playing a Xbox 360 game, you HAVE TO make sure to properly quit the game by going to the Home Screen, and pressing the Menu button on the main game tile.

There choose to Quit the Xbox 360 game.

Only then the game will properly write the save file and is ready to be synchronized and uploaded to the cloud.

Also: NAT as well as Gold memberships don't affect saving on the Xbox One. You only need Gold to use the cloud save on a real Xbox 360 console.

Don't know, restless so i am answering. On Ps4 each save file is 16MB. Including the profile save and the 2 auto save's. So far game save space is 184 MB so i would recommend game save file management for xbox one too. I usually have 4 save files on a regular
basis, one before missions one after and one before certain objectives.
