Pc Xbox Game Pass Save to Steam?

[Mister Shan]

Has anyone been able to confirm if the save would transfer. Yes it's free on game pass but eventually I would want to get it for the deck and my time is worth more than 60 bucks so I wouldn't want to restart it. It can take me years to finish a Jrpg with the time I have for gaming and also wouldn't want to lose my save when it eventually goes off Game Pass.

Yeah, I played P5R on Game Pass for 3 hours and decided the same as you, owning and play it on Steam doing the save transfer, which is possible, here's how:

1- Locate your Game Pass save: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\SEGAofAmericaInc.A_BUNCH_OF_NUMBERS_AND_LETTERS\SystemAppData\wgs

Inside wgs I found two folders: one with a lot of numbers and letters and the other with a single letter, go to the folder with a lot of numbers, there are your actual saves. Inside that folder you'll find even more folders with numbers and letters (in my case 3, but more if you've used more than 2 save spaces ingame) and a file named "containers.index".

Inside those folders you'll find a file "container.NUMBER" and another file with no extension, WHICH IS THE FILE YOU'LL COPY TO STEAM (a.k.a. your save file).

2- Open Persona 5 Royal on Steam, start a new game, and play (skip) until the game lets you save; save the game, then close it.

3-Disable Steam Cloud on P5R's options.

4- Go to the following route: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P5R\Steam\A_BUNCH_OF_NUMBERS\savedata\DATA01 and DELETE the file you'll find in there (DATA.DAT).

5- Copy your save file from Game Pass into this folder and rename it to "DATA.DAT"

6- Open the game and load your save file, check if everything is okay, then progress a little bit and save the game.

7- Close the game and enable Steam Cloud on P5R's options.

Have fun! :chocolaova:

Thanks a lot for this! I used to play on SteamDeck and one of the reasons to have dual boot and use Windows is this title on Gamepass. But always will be more confrotable have it on SteamOS... I have 36 hours of playthrough and surely have a lot of time for playing and now that is on sale I was looking for a way to migrate my save from Gamepass to Steam. Your post make me decide to buy the game.

Works like a charm....

Hi guys, thanks for the help with the transfer!

Do you also have the problem, that the thieves den is not unlocked, although the save could be perfectly loaded?

You forgot to copy your SYSTEM save as well.

Oh! Which one is the SYSTEM save?

Did you ever find which one was the SYSTEM data? I'm still looking for it in my save but i'm not able to find it. No idea which one it is and I'm not able to find anything online.

Edit: Just a tip for everyone else, don't just try and move filed around, even tho you save them in a different spot you might still screw them up, just as I just did... I still have the save files, but my system file is some how gone from my game pass folder so I can't access it there any more... Still don't know which one is the SYSTEM.DAT on game pass.

It can take me years to finish a Jrpg with the time I have for gaming and also wouldn't want to lose my save when it eventually goes off Game Pass.

I tried to do this a while back with 'The Outer Worlds' but had no luck at all and I eventually found out that Microsoft even locked down the installation folder for it to be totally inaccessible by the Administrator. This also means no modding support for any of their games on Game Pass and ruins a lot of the benefits of gaming on PC.

Finally managed to get my Gamepass save file and attempted to transfer over to Steam (they were both from the same update version as well), once I booted it up it seemed to recognise it but when ever I tried to load it the game would come up with some error message which was very strange. It seemed to not accept any save games from game pass intentionally.

Decided after that, Gamepass just wasn't for me and just picked up that game on Steam and started a fresh save.

I'd rather have a large backlog of games on Steam that I know I can play whenever I want and mod them easily as well without having to worry about MS removing the game from Gamepass either, potentially without even being able to transfer them over even if I am able to locate them.

Sorry I couldn't offer any solutions just gave my personal experience on it but i'm sure there are some here that have found a way considering how long Game Pass has been around now who can help you out or at least point you in the right direction.

Edit: Just saw that earlier someone provided very clear instructions step by step to get it running. I would recommend you get onto that since that is the solution to importing your saves over.

To play on deck? Well, I was going to wait months till it dropped in price, but the hell with it, reading all that made my head hurt and if somehow this process gets corrupted in the future I don't want to lose my progress. I know the game is good already. I will just pay for the ease of portability and the risk of not losing my save.

Bruh all of that is extremely clear, and doable in like... 5 minutes. He even gave you the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ path to the files.

Maybe you just have subhuman IQ.

In other games I have transferred the save file fine. There are guides online to do it, and it's a little bit of a process.

Basically, it involves finding the Game Pass save, which is usually just a file named as a string of numbers, which you rename to the Steam standard of the name and replace the Steam save with the newly renamed Game Pass save.

You will, of course, not get credited for any achievements you could have unlocked in that save, btw.

Yeah this did NOT work for me, I found the

"C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\SEGAofAmericaInc.A_BUNCH_OF_NUMBERS_AND_LETTERS"

part, but there is no system app data folder AT ALL. So nope. I'm going to have to start all over. I'm very sad. I just got to the end of Okumura's palace and was about to go send the card. Balls. if anyone knows WHY there's no system app data (and since that's no where to be found neither is the wgs folder), that would be super helpful but alas and alack, I am going to have to start over.

I have tried this process and I want to update the steps since I was getting a level 1 character after following the initial steps, but eventually found a way to also use the SYSTEM data:

1- Locate your Game Pass save: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\SEGAofAmericaInc.A_BUNCH_OF_NUMBERS_AND_LETTERS\SystemAppData\wgs
Inside wgs I found two folders: one with a lot of numbers and letters and the other with a single letter, go to the folder with a lot of numbers, there are your actual saves. Inside that folder you'll find even more folders with numbers and letters (in my case 3, but more if you've used more than 2 save spaces ingame) and a file named "containers.index".

Inside those folders you'll find a file "container.NUMBER" and another file with no extension,
so you will have to
copy both of the files that have A_BUNCH_OF_NUMBERS_AND_LETTERS. Note that the one that is the last modified one is the actual save data(DATA.DAT), and the older one is the SYSTEM.DAT. You can already rename them accordingly so you don't forget, it will come in handy later.

2- Open Persona 5 Royal on Steam, start a new game, and play (skip) until the game lets you save; save the game, then close it.

3-Disable Steam Cloud on P5R's options.

4- Go to the following route: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P5R\Steam\A_BUNCH_OF_NUMBERS\savedata\DATA01 and overwrite the file you'll find in there (DATA.DAT) with the one from gamepass (make sure the name is exactly the same).

5- Go to the following route: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P5R\Steam\A_BUNCH_OF_NUMBERS\savedata\SYSTEM and overwrite the file you'll find in there (SYSTEM.DAT) with the one from gamepass (make sure the name is exactly the same).

6- Open the game and load your save file, check if everything is okay, then progress a little bit and save the game.

7- Close the game and enable Steam Cloud on P5R's options.

Hope that works for you too :)

I have two folders in my 'wgs' and went into the folder with most recent modified; copied the file with random letter and numbers, then pasted into 'DATA05' of the steam savedata and renamed it to DATA.DAT. But then the save file becomes empty in game and I can't open it at all, even tho the file is there in folders. Anyone know what should I do? Also does it matter if I don't have the game installed from the xbox game pass?

(Update: Ended up buying it off Xbox, then installing it again from there, which then it gave me a new "SEGA.AMERICA" folder in "Packages", then followed the instructions and it worked well. After I finished transferring the data, I just refunded the Xbox P5R. The old files I had probably got ruined after uninstalling the game or after P5R got taken off the gamepass, or could've been P3R, who knows.)
