Save Files on Pc Game Pass?

Hello, how are you? Hope you're well. My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the community. Unfortunately, this is currently not possible because the structure of the saved files from steam is different from those created by the Microsoft store, even though you can have access to them and if you transferred them to steam they would not be recognized due to this.

It's also worth mentioning that steam's achievements model is different from the Xbox app, and they're different servers and services too, so it wouldn't be possible to link the same achievements you have in the Xbox app to your steam account.

There was a third-party application that converted the files, but it is currently not functional.

*Thank you in advance for contacting the community, I hope this can help you. Let me know if you have more questions, please.

Hi,

Yakuza 0 is not cross compatible with save files across Xbox and PC. This is why you have to start the game from the beginning on Game Pass PC.

Hello X, If you are referring to other platforms like Steam, you can try the path below.

Save games for PC Xbox Games can be found inside the “C:\Users\ YOUR USER \AppData\Local\Packages” folder

Yes, while you’re connected to the Xbox network, saved games are automatically stored in the cloud.

Games that have the Play Anywhere feature can even be accessed on a console, to continue playing from your PC saved game.

This folder exists on my OneDrive tree, but it is empty. To reiterate, I can view hidden files on my computer, I am admin on my computer, I have full access/modify privileges on my C drive.

I am absolutely baffled about the location of these save files.

Some of the Game Pass version of these games have been modified by the developer to change the location of the save game. Some PC game pass titles don't even have a local save at all.

For example, Rise of the Tomb Raider, which isn't a Game Pass PC title, but can be bought from the Xbox PC store, stores its save file in an isolated UWP registry which can't be accessed.

Yes, I know it's a crazy system which no other PC distributer uses, and I'm a PC gamer myself. I like the fact the games are their as part of the service, but the implementation needs much improvement. Which is why, unless something is insanely cheap on the store, I usually buy my games from Steam.
