Transfer Original Xbox save files from Xbox 360 into the Xbox One/Series X, is it possible?

Unfortunately original Xbox saves cannot be transferred to the newer systems.

On Xbox 360 console license transfer is possible but on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S that is not an option.

Thank you!

The WOT Xbox 360 save file was 2.6GB when it released...can imagine how big it is now. Not sure you can trim that down any.

Is it possible to transfer save files from the 360 to a USB stick (formatted for the Xbox) and then transfer those files to the new console?

Hi,

In short, Drives formatted for Xbox One only work on Xbox One and Series X|S, they don't work on Xbox 360.

A slightly longer explanation is that the formatting and file system is different. Even if the format and file system were the same, the games downloaded on an Xbox One still wouldn't work on an Xbox 360 as they are actually coded differently. Even the Xbox 360 games wouldn't work as they have been reprogrammed to only work on Xbox One/Series X|S.

If you have your Xbox 360 connected to Xbox Live you will need to download these games and apps directly via that system. It's not possible to transfer them between generations.

If you originally had the save file on your Xbox 360 and you transferred it over to your Xbox One via Save Cloud then you should still be able to go to your Xbox 360 and just take the save file off the Save Cloud and then put it back in to the Save Cloud
so it appears on your Xbox One again, if you started to play the Backwards Comp. game with a new save file on the Xbox One then it should hopefully (not completely sure) but it should hopefully still have been copied over to your Xbox 360 Account on the Save
Cloud and just take it off and put it back into the Save Cloud again. If its not there then I'm sorry, but there is then no possible way to recover your save file.
