  1. Why is my Saved Games not Syncing Between Xbox Series X and Xbox PC


    Hi,

    So I have Starfield installed on both my PC and Xbox console.

    When I play on of my Xbox however my latest save is not there when I try to play on PC...I get the following message: another device is taking too long to sync its recent save. It gives 2 options: Try to sync again or continue with the previously existing cloud save that's available. Trying to sync again is never succesful and the existing cloud save its at least 2 days old.

    Now my xbox is usually on sleep mode during this time.

    This obviously means that the Play Anywhere feature does not work or is a complete fabrication unless there is a solution to this.

    :)

    Starfield not syncing from PC > Laptop

    I have the same issue, but then between an Xbox Series S and my pc. There seems to be something wrong with the pc not detecting whether the saves have synced properly.

    Kathy,

    3. Try manually syncing your saved games by going to the "Manage Game & Add-ons" section of Starfield on both your Xbox Series X and PC. From there, select "Saved Data" and then "Sync Now."

    all I can see is delete all and delete, or clear

    are you sure this Sync now is available in xbox x??? or is just my xbox x dont have this function

    thanks!

    Hello Fay Fay,

    Thank you for sharing additional details.

    The information your providing seems to be related to the game/s save that was not synced well to the cloud. Since this is not on just one game, we believe you can follow our suggestion below. To answer your question about the report on Team Xbox, this is for the issues that requires investigation or unexpected issue or known issues, the resolution sometimes comes after an update or immediately, but this usually depends upon the finding of Team Xbox.

    For your concern, it seems like you will be bringing with you the saves that is currently in the cloud in your vacation (if you are planning a gaming day on vacay). If the scenario you are having, is you have console 1 & 2. If console 1 is on level 50 in game and console 2 still on level 10, you must connect your console 1 online to your network to sync your saves. You might need to launch your game and make sure your level 50 is shown and synced. Or you might also need to prevent the console 2 to be online during your sync to ensure that the higher level for the game will retain and overwrite the older one.

    Should you experience issues with the sync, please check the details here for your error message: Syncing Xbox game saves to the cloud error messages | Xbox Support.

    For learn more about cloud game save, please check: Xbox cloud game saves FAQ | Xbox Support.

    Have a great day and stay safe!

    Hello Varish Mirchandani,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    Based on your description, you are playing Starfield and is unable to sync the saves well. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

    Starfield is part of Play Anywhere and should allow you to save your game from different platform. The inability to sync a previous save of the game usually happens when your internet connection is unstable the game was not connected to Xbox Network for syncing, or your console enabled offline gaming. For this issue, we would like to ask for few questions:

    1. May we know if you have issues playing other play anywhere game title?
    2. May we ask if you are having issues keeping the saves of other games?
    3. Did you encounter an error message or code?

    For troubleshooting we recommend trying the following steps:



    1. Make sure that both your Xbox Series X and PC are connected to the internet and that your Xbox Live account is signed in on both devices.



    2. Check to see if there are any updates available for Starfield on both your Xbox Series X and PC. If there are updates available, make sure to install them on both devices.



    3. EDIT: If none of the above steps work, try signing out of your Xbox Live account on both your Xbox Series X and PC, and then signing back in.



    If you continue to experience issues with syncing your saved games, it would be best to report this issue to the game support and with Team Xbox.

      • Click Give new feedback
      • Add [Xbox Forum] in “Summarize your feedback” followed by a feedback summary

    Yes, I have to wonder why they provided no option to see sync status or an option to sync all saves. It doesn't seem to be working very well at all.
