    Xbox save game files did not migrate to new account


    ok. so I had an xbox console account associated with an email X and running with Game Pass console..

    I was worried that that account could have been illegally accessed, so I asked support to migrate the xbox console account to email Y.

    That went ok. I removed account X and successfully logged in with account Y.

    Game pass console is active on account Y, however, all my saved games disappeared.

    I tried Xbox support, but the virtual assistant is no help whatsoever.

    Is there any way to recover the saved games?

    I have only one xbox, so I can only have one account/console active and can't use network sharing.

    :)

    Hi StephanJH,

    I am Jose. In your prompt response, Remember that when restoring the console, choose "Restore console keeping games and apps" as this will restore
    the console files and remove any corrupt files you may have. Additionally, you should also remember your credential data, and that would be all. Likewise, don't worry
    about asking questions; it's always good to resolve any doubts. Regarding your extra questions,

    And to check if you have saved data in the cloud, follow these steps:

    1. On the home screen, select "My games and apps."

    2. Highlight the game, press the menu button on the controller, and then select "Manage game and add-ons."

    3. Choose the "Saved data" box (Here you can see all the saved data).

    I hope this clears up some doubts and alleviates some uncertainties. Good luck!

    If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help.

    Best regards,
    Jose.

    Xbox save game files did not migrate to new account

    Hi Jose,

    Thank you for your help.

    I have noticed that the specific saved game files I find more important are ‘embedded’ within the game. I can see a specified saved games folder (‘reserved space’). As they seem embedded I am not sure I can reach them seperately at all. I almost believe I would have to migrate the entire game (106,6 Gb).

    I will certainly try the solutions you suggested. With the chance of sounding stupid; how can I check/download if anything is in the cloud? I assume that the data there is shown to whoever owns it. As my save games in the cloud belong to account X (which I still have access to), so technically I wouldn’t be able to access that data from account Y. Or am I mistaken?

    I have tried to get a ‘real’ assistant on chat, but I haven’t seen the option come up any more. It did for my first problem, but now I am always getting the option to go ‘back’ or chat with the virtual assistant.

    Hello StephanJH, I'm Jose, an independent advisor, and I'm here to guide you on your case.

    Unfortunately, the situation you are experiencing may be complicated and may not have a direct solution. However, here are some steps you could try to resolve the problem:

    Check online: Make sure to log in to your Xbox account online and check if your saved games are synchronized with the cloud. Sometimes, data is stored in the cloud and can be downloaded to the console.

    Account history: Check if you can find any information in the account history associated with your old account (account X). Sometimes, data might be associated with the previous account.

    Xbox support: Although you mention that the virtual assistant was not helpful, try reaching out to Xbox support directly through other channels, such as email or live chat. Personalized assistance can sometimes provide more specific solutions.

    Forums and communities: Explore Xbox forums and other online communities. Other users may have experienced similar issues and could have suggestions or solutions based on their experience.

    System restoration: If all else fails and you have the option, consider performing a system restore on your Xbox to a point before the account change. Keep in mind that this may affect other data on your console.

    Remember that it is crucial to take additional precautions when migrating accounts to avoid data loss. In the future, it is advisable to regularly back up your saved games and other important information.

    Best regards,
    Jose.

    LIVE Migration From Australia To America

    Hi Andrew!

    I'm not sure what you mean by migrating your Gold, as account migration is no longer functional and Gold Time is non transferable between subscriptions, nor are achievements, DLC, or save files.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news.
