    Saving games while doing a Factory reset


    HI

    So it may come to the point of having to do a factory reset on my sons xbox 1. Will his games progress be saved to his Microsoft account or will he loose his progress?

    Thanks

    :)

    Hello, I've read your post, and I believe I understand your position. The Xbox Ambassadors are here to help.

    You are safe to proceed with a factory reset, all of his achievements, gameplay, and anything else associated with his account will be saved. When your console is back up to operational standard, in the game section, if you RB click over to ready to install
    section, here you will see your games. Also, feel free to search any game that you own in the Microsoft store. If you indeed own it, it will show up as owned ready to install.

    I hope I understood your question properly, and I hope this helps.

    Saves are stored on the Cloud, the game data is erased when performing a factory reset. If you use that account on any Xbox, the saves are automatically downloaded from the cloud.

    They are saved both on the console and online, in the Cloud. So if you do a factory reset and loes the saves on the console that are saved locally, his games will sync automatically with the Cloud when he boots a game up so they will retrieve his saves
    that way.

    Hi, thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Forums today,
    Hope this information is helpful.



    There are times when you may need to completely erase and restore your Xbox One, such as when you sell it or give it to a friend. There also may be times when you want to reset your console's operating system (OS) to its factory defaults, but you want to
    keep your installed games and apps. Xbox One provides an easy way to perform both actions.

    While you’re connected to Xbox Live, saved games are automatically stored in the cloud. If you use your Xbox profile to sign in to a different Xbox One console, your saves are available from that console.
