Synching with the cloud requires being connected to the internet, and since there was a power outage, I am afraid the saved data may have been lost!

Mine it was the X, its the most powerful console. I had the original xbox, the xbox360, then switched to ps4 and xbox one x its the favorite for me

Hi, Сергей my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

A sudden power outage can be harmful to your Xbox Series X and the inserted disc, but the risk depends on several factors and the severity of the outage:

For the Xbox Series X:

Short outage: A brief surge or blink in power without complete cut-off is unlikely to cause any damage.

Extended outage: Longer outages, especially if frequent, can increase the risk of data corruption, hardware damage, or loss of progress in your current game.

Hard drive vs. SSD: The SSD in the Series X is more resistant to corruption than traditional hard drives, but it's not immune.

Surge protection: Using a surge protector can significantly reduce the risk of damage from voltage spikes during power restoration.

For the inserted disc:

Scratches: The sudden stoppage of the disc drive during a power outage can potentially scratch the disc.

Data corruption: In rare cases, sudden power loss while spinning can corrupt disc data, causing the game to become unplayable.

Tips to minimize the risk:

Use a surge protector: This will help protect your console and disc from voltage spikes during power restoration.
Quick resume feature: Utilize the Quick Resume feature to minimize data loss in case of sudden outages.

Shut down properly: When possible, always shut down your Xbox properly before potential power outages.

Invest in a UPS: If power outages are frequent in your area, consider a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to provide temporary power during outages, allowing you to shut down your console safely.
