How to transfer save file from GamePass to Epic Games?
I worry that Talos principle will go off gamepass soon. I have hours of progress for the game using the gamepass version. Recently I got the game for free on the Epic Game launcher. I'm wondering if its possible to transfer saves so that I can stop worrying about the game being removed off GamePass, since ill have the permanent version of Epic Games and can enjoy that version 'forever'

I am fairly certain that the progress cannot be transferred over.
However, there's no reason to believe the game will be removed from Game Pass.

Is that the case for GamePass -> Steam too? I bought the game in the recent sale even though I have it on GamePass because I love it and want it forever! It sure seems like GamePass is very anti-consumer and doesn't even let you backup your saves from some quick searching, but I'm grasping at straws here.

Im keeping my hopes low, but would you know if somehow a way to transfer progress from Gamepass to Epic Games or Steam has been made possible?

It seems Talos Principle will leave gamepass 17th of November :( Unfortuneatly I do not have time to finish the game this month...I'm so busy with work.

Or are there any "cheat codes" that allow people to complete levels/worlds? If they are that would be great...I can try to redo my campaign progress on Epic Games version more quickly XD

Some games allow you to transfer safe between epic and steam both directions some don't, I just bought the Talos on Steam as I prefere steam and wanted to transfer my save over here.

i tried transferring my save from gamepass to epic but it didnt work unfortuneatly. In theory maybe it would work transferring from epic to steam.

Not all games, does, I have had 4 games where save games transfer between steam and epic both ways, then so far I have 3 games where I need to use a hex editor to fiddle with the save file to transfer them both ways and 2 games where a transfer seems impossible when searching, Talos is one of them.
