Cross-Progression?

[SideSwipe]

Couldn't see a recent post about it, but does it exist? I currently own it for Xbox and want to play from my Steam Deck as well, but don't want to start all over again.

There is no built in way to transfer a save from one platform to another. It might be possible to recreate your x bix save with a save editor.

Console and PC save files do not have identical structure, some of the arrays are a little different and the file header itself is not the same.
I don't know about the Steam Deck, but most likely the save is not even compatible.

PC<>Steam Deck is fully compatible. There is no Linux build, it's just the PC build using Proton so it reads the same files.

He is talking Xbox->Steam Deck. Is Xbox the same as PC? That'll give him his answer.

I only know for sure that Playstation -> PC isn't possible without jumping through some hoops with the save editor. It IS possible though, just not without some intermediary steps.

Ah that answers my question, they support cross-play, but was hoping for the progression as well.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I assumed you meant incompatibility as general. My bad.

That said, apparently NomNom's save editor can convert Gamepass saves to Steam, and if you buy on Gamepass you can transfer your saves from Xbox to Gamepass, then use NN to convert to Steam. But that means you need three purchases total to bridge the gap.

EDIT: NomNom's editor hasn't been updated since November, so it shouldn't be used as it will probably not properly convert new data.

This is the best option, I'm relatively certain at least PS and PC have different save formats. Same probably applies to Xbox.

It's what i did moving from PS4 to PC years ago.

I think NMS is at its best early game anyway. At that point all the upgrades etc feel useful, past mid-game upgrading things further doesn't really do anything.

Ah ok thanks guys!
