Xbox PC cloud gaming save data issue

it should sync automatically.

if there is a difference between the cloud save and the local save, read the information very carefully to work out which is the one you want to keep.

for example, your Xbox should have newer save data than the PC save on the Cloud (if that wasn't over written by the Xbox save data when you started the game up)

try starting on the PC and choose local data to keep as that should be your save with all your progress.

play for a while and let that save and synchronise the data with the cloud, then shut down the game and start it on Xbox and it should detect the cloud save and sync automatically.

I think the issue on this is due to the save data. Since Xbox Live backs up the console data and makes it available on cloud for download it would be how he would get it on his PC. It sounds like his PC isn't getting the most recent version of the save
data from the cloud. Depending on your internet speed it could take a little while to sync a Minecraft world to the cloud. Try leaving the Xbox turned on for a little while and give it some time to fully sync. On the Xbox you can also use the menu button to
view the manage data and see user data as well as save data and make from there you will be able to see the most recent locally saved data and the most recent cloud data, if both of those are showing the same then at least you know its the proper save data
in the cloud. If all of that worked, he might need to see if he can redownload the synced data on the PC version, but if I had to guess the issue is likely on the data just waiting to be uploaded to the cloud from the Xbox.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for coming to the forums. If the games are digitally purchased, it will not be much of an issue to re-download them. When the company recovered them they are probably written for PC to read. The Xbox will not be able to read these and need to be reinstalled.
As all your save data is saved to the cloud, when you reinstall and launch the game it will retrieve your save data from the cloud.

Thanks,

Brad

The simple answer is to sign out and resign in. That is typically the issue. Here's a link to cloud data. That said it could very well be a common server issue:

"Xbox Game Pass for PC] Just lost my saves"

"Syncing Xbox One game saves to the cloud error messages"

Hey teabeagea!

I'm sorry to hear about this concern about your saved data. Playing an Xbox Play Anywhere title should not overwrite your data when switching from one platform to another. As long as you are playing on the same account on PC and on Xbox, the data transfers
over. Whenever you make progress on your account on a platform, let's say on PC, and everything saves, when you play on Xbox you should see the data syncing from the last cloud save. The data is updated to the Cloud Storage automatically on Xbox One and PC
as long as you are connected to Xbox Live. Since data is account specific, the original issue may have been due to being on a different account. Here are some resources:
