If I factory reset my Xbox One will my data come back

Hey Edith,

Like the others have said, all save data is backed up to Microsoft's servers aka "the Cloud". Note, however, that there are two types of factory resets: a soft reset which resets the console but keeps all games and applications or a complete reset which
resets the console and removes everything. If you do a complete reset, you would have to re-install your games but save data will return when the specific game is installed.

Hi Edith,

That is correct. Your data is backed up to the online Xbox Cloud storage automatically when connected to the internet and syncs that data back once you start your game again.

Everything is synced to the Cloud, so you're good!

As long as you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription it's pretty seamless.

Hi Floppa! I'm more than happy to help you!

In order to restore your data after the factory reset, sign in to your Microsoft Xbox account on your console. Your data is backed up to the online Xbox Cloud storage automatically when connected to the internet and syncs that data back once you start your game again.

All saved data is backed up to Microsoft's servers in the Cloud.

Note: There are two types of factory resets:

1. A soft reset (Factory reset keep my games and apps) which resets the console but keeps all games and applications.

2. A complete reset (Factory reset remove everything.) which resets the console and removes everything. If you do a complete reset, you would have to re-install your games but save data will return when the specific game is installed.
