Save files have Vanished

Lance Murphy1 · Sep 24, 2022

Hello all. I recently updated Skyrim Special Edition. It's been about 6 months since I've last played. Anyhow, i jumped back on after updating to be welcomed with no game save files. This game was downloaded through the PC Xbox Game Pass. On the game pass it shows my game time (1 day, 23 hours) played, yet everything else is gone. Weird right?? Would anyone know a way to fix/get round this? Desperately want my saves back! Any help/comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

:)

Hope you're doing great today despite this Lance

Did you always played on PC? Or your previous progress was on Xbox?

If it was always on PC, and the progress is not there sadly it can't be recovered.
But in case you have more than one email address please sign in with that account on both Microsoft store and Xbox app and check if you're able to load the previous progress

common problem this seems to be happening to alot of people i was 62% thou the game and was only a few riddles away from finding riddler so annoying and it seems to be random cos i always switch off from the menu screen

Probably did like I did and shut it off whie it was saving. Didnt see the litte saving symbol and instead of cutting it off through the menu I shut it off with the xbox button. Atleast thats what I think it was. Weird thing is that I was at the same spot
you were at when yours vanished.

I had the same issue, but after trying it again it worked. So hopefully it's the same for you, although I know going through the missions again can be tedious.

Yea, not really dying to do another playthrough again so soon. Worst part is I spent a ton of time with the side missions and riddler trophies
