    Hey guys!



    When my 2 months of game pass finishes (there is a deal for 2 months for £2) is there a way for me at all to transfer my progress across to the steam account when I eventually buy it on steam?



    or will I have to start fresh ?



    I would have thought start fresh because with the game pass you are playing the ultimate edition ? but I wanted to ask just in case I could

    :)

    By default your games will save on the C: drive and the common location of saved games is C:\Users\NAME\Saved Games\GAME.

    Once you find the folder you can backup the files to another storage device.

    The games you play will create a saved folder for data locally but depending on where you bought the game, the cloud storage will also kick in. I know for Steam you have to check the game and make sure it has a cloud icon to know it supports it.

    You should be able to move the files from your user files in the C: drive if you played from Game pass, you just would need to locate the game's folder in the Program files section of your C: drive, which is where Steam installs by default.
    Thank you!

    Do you know if there is a way to connect your Microsoft account on Steam so I can bring over my online profile so i don't have to start from level 0?

    I am not sure whether the above suggested approach will work. From what i know is Windows 10 games are installed as wind 10 apps but steam games as a program.

    They are different platforms and you will have to restart.

    I don't think it works are two different platforms before buying informed well

    Glad you found a fix there. If you've got it on Game Pass then keep playing that for now. But if you want to buy it, I suggest Steam.
    Would I need to buy the game on Steam? I already have the game through the game pass. What is the difference between steam game and game pass?
