Transferring Xbox 360 game saves to Xbox series X via USB not working

You would have needed to save the game to the cloud via the Xbox 360. You can not transfer game saves from 360 to Xbox One via a USB drive.

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.

as stated there is no way around this, back in the old days of the 360 your profile and 90% of saves could be moved via usb pen but since the xbox one save cannot be accessed and only transferred to another console via cloud saving.

You could do it the old fashion way and transfer your saves to a USB stick from your 360 then plug that USB into the Xbox one and copy them all to the HDD

That won't work. The cloud is the only way to transfer 360 saves to the One.

The Xbox Series S/X has 3 USB ports, just like the Xbox One. From the sound of it, you have the Xbox 360 S. If that is the case, the 2tb drive you own will work, only if the drive is a USB 3.0/3.1 drive. Please note, the only games that will work on the
drive will be 0g Xbox games. Xbox 360 games & Xbox One games. Any series S/X games will have to be stored on the consoles own storage, which includes the consoles external SSD.
