    For some unknown reason all my game saves vanished, someone suggested removing and re-adding my profile, my question is will I have to redownload the games I have installed?

    I agree with whats been said already. If you are having issues though, you may want to perform a soft reset. This will restore your Xbox to factory default settings but keep the installed apps & games. May sort out the issues you are having with your saved
    game data by removing your profile.

    Info on how to do that can be found here - Reset Console To Factory Default

    Make sure you choose the Reset and keep my games & apps option.

    Hope this helps. :)

    Hi Glados,

    Thanks for letting us know they are working. I will go ahead and lock this thread as it has been resolved. Please feel free to come back to the forums if you have any other issues, questions, or just want to create a discussion to talk to fellow
    gamers.





    Thanks,

    Brad

    No you won't. You will probably be prompted that the console is syncing your save game from the cloud as soon as you start a game again, but all of your installed and downloaded games will remain on your console.

    Thanks for the helpful reply.

    I tried another suggested thing before removing/re-adding and it seems to have worked, was told to sign out of my account then restart the console and sign back in, that restored my saves. 🤗
