| How To Get To Cloud Storage On Xbox One |
Why Use the Cloud? (Besides to Avoid Dust Bunnies)
- Multiple Lives, One Save: Imagine starting a new game on a friend's console, only to realize you left your epic progress chilling back home. The cloud swoops in like a digital superhero, letting you access your saves from anywhere with an internet connection. No more starting from scratch!
- The Great Save Purge: Your Xbox storage is overflowing like a gamer's fridge after a pizza binge? The cloud acts as your digital storage locker. Offload those old saves and make room for the next big adventure!
- Death from Above...Doesn't Delete Your Save: Ever accidentally delete your save file in a fit of gaming rage? The cloud says, "Hold my virtual beer!" Cloud saves act as a backup, so you can usually recover your progress even after a monumental gamer meltdown.
Okay, I'm In. How Do I Reach This Cloud Paradise?
- Channel Your Inner Jedi Master: Grab your controller, the mightiest weapon in your arsenal. Press the glowing Xbox button to bring up the force field, also known as the guide.
- Settings: Your Path to Enlightenment: Navigate to the mystical land of "Settings" (represented by a gear icon). May the frame rates be with you!
- Unearthing the Cloud : Descend into the depths of the "System" menu. There, nestled amongst other options, you'll find the gateway to the cloud: "Storage."
Embrace the Cloud! (But Maybe Not Literally)
- Enabling the Ethereal: Within the "Storage" menu, seek out the cryptic message "Cloud saved games." With a flick of the virtual thumbstick (or a tap, if you're a fancypants Kinect user), enable cloud saved games. A chorus of angels may not sing, but a satisfying confirmation message will appear.
- Cloud Seeding (The Easy Way): From here on out, most games will automatically upload your save data to the cloud as long as you're connected to the internet. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
Side Note: If you have existing saves you want to shove into the cloud, you can usually do so from within the game's manage storage options.
