Transfer Demo Saves from Xbox App to Steam?

[Mykurr]

So I was impatient as hell and wanted to play the demo early so I played it through the xbox app on windows first. Since the demo is out now on steam as well, is there a way to transfer the save files? I'm going to buy the game on steam on release day so I'm curious to know if there is a way otherwise I guess I'll just restart from the beginning again.

The Steam saves are located at: %appdata%\SEGA\METAPHOR\Steam\

You gonna have to find where it is for Windows store version if it is not alongside.
Maybe in the Metaphor folder under: %localappdata%\Packages

That depends on if the UWP app (MS Store) isn't encrypted, which given most UWP titles are... is unlikely.

OP's only solution (unless he wants to poke about and try to break encryption/etc. to open the format up) is to redo all his progress on Steam or buy off MS Store/X-box Live.

Since someone made a decryptor for P3 reload between xbox to steam i was wondering maybe someone would eventually make one for metaphor but otherwise ye ig ill just replay the game. Its rly good after all

I'm also trying to find xbox save file, though having no success yet. Savefolder itself looks just the same as Steam's one, though it lacks savefile itself.

Honestly I would just re-do the demo on Steam just to be on the safe side. You have two weeks to go through a few hours of demo and you'll go much faster on your second way through it.

Oh yea fr, I loved the demo so much I did it all in one session and I’m abt to do it again

I've transfered it, it reads the correct character name, playtime, day, location and e.t.c, though once you load it, it load your save from Steam itself. So I assume its not technically hard to transfer, though it needs some minor tuning

UPD: nevermind, I've done it. Works and loads correctly xbox save file while playing via Steam.

You just take the encrypted file from xbox save folder, you start a new game to have a save file on Steam (I assume its optional and you can skip this step), then you just change the name of the encrypted file to save_demo0000.sav (.sav is essential) and you swap it with a file in a Steam save folder and voila - it should work.

yep that worked for me too, problem is that Im alrdy quite far enough in but cheers anyways

ok, I know why I failed, I didn't turn off Steam Cloud.
