    Let players repair corrupted save files on Xbox for all generations (Xbox 360 and newer)


    Sometimes game save files become corrupted or unreadable, which can cause players to lose hours or even years of progress. Currently, there’s no way to repair or recover these saves directly on Xbox — especially for older titles like Xbox 360 games.

    Suggestions: – Add a “Repair Save File” option in the game management or storage settings – Support all generations of games: Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S – Try to restore missing or damaged data using cloud backups or local recovery – Show a preview or status of what can be recovered before overwriting – Let players export or duplicate the save before attempting repair – Notify users if a save is at risk of corruption (e.g. due to sync errors or crashes)

    This feature would protect players from losing progress due to technical issues and give them more control over their data — especially for long-term games like RPGs or open-world titles.

    Corrupted hard drive

    Hi there - I would recommend backing up all of the data on your harddrive to another storage device, and then re-formatting your Xbox hard drive. If it is still corrupted, you will need to send it off for repair:

    support.xbox.com/.../repair-process     You can then try transferring all of your data back onto the hard drive, but unfortunately there is no guarantee that your save files themselves were not corrupted.

    Hi there Brendan Muscles,

    In the case where a profile becomes corrupt, redownloading it will generally fix it. No need to start a new profile or delete any save files. Simply follow the steps posted

    here     and let us know if that is able to help. Thanks.
