Is there a way to transfer my Xbox Game Pass (PC) save to steam game?

[Friends with Benedicts]

So here's the deal: This game is on Xbox (Beta) thingy on PC, and I've played a bit and loved the game. I'm going to buy it here, but I don't want to lose my progress.

Does anyone know if there's a folder or something? I can't seem to find.

xbox and steam are 2 different platforms, it is impossible to share their savefiles. But don't worry if you just started playing the game and did not managed to beat the final boss yet on the normal difficulty, then you doesn't have much to lose.

Ah ok, it's a roguelike anyway (I think I've seem the term roguelite somewhere lol).

I was just hoping to do that because I need to wait for my payment to be confirmed and that will take days because I live in a third world country *facepalm*. Kinda hyped to play...

Got to your Dead Cells folder, wherever you installed copy content of /save folder and look for Steam DC one. Something like this:
[[PathToSteam]]\Steam\steamapps\common\Dead Cells\save.

If the gamepass version of the game is not much different from Steam (both should be 1.4 I guess), saves should work with no problem.

It doesn't work with every single game genious. People have tried transfering save files from games launched in Epic Store to the same game launched in Steam and had reported no sucess. But I dunno if Dead Cells is one of those games.

So what's the point answering about something you have no idea about

Looking in google looks like WStore have saves here:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\MotionTwin.DeadCellsWin10_rtjy889c6zgtg\LocalCache\Local\MotionTwin\DeadCells

Looks like folder can be hidden tho, so make sure you can see hidden files and folders in explorer.

In my case UserProfile is in C:\Users\YourLoginName. And Steam saves and settings could be stored in Steam's game settings folders.For Dead Cells this would be:

<Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\588650\remote\user_#.dat

Thanks for the reply guys. I didn't had much time to post here because of work, but it seems game pass does indeed keep my save files hostage. The directory you pointed is the correct one, but it seems not all games keep their save files there (actually none of which I tried had their save files there)

Huge turn off for me. I was really excited with game pass, but it seems they're not interested in letting me handle my save files. That tells a lot about their business model.

you do this to locate the game directory

[SechelX]

the game installs to you're C: drive even if you path it to a different drive

Doesn't work, I already tried. My savefile is better now anyway.

Gamepass is really not that good

I already did, and worked well for me...
I just followed the steps indicated here https://www.pcgamesn.com/xbox-game-pass-pc-steam and here https://thenerdmag.com/the-ascent-save-file-location-steam/#:~:text=Select%20the%20AppData%20folder.,will%20have%20your%20save%20file.

Rename and replace the files from one directory to another, works like a charm.

Steps:
- Install on Steam
- Start the game and start a new game (to generate a save file)
- Go to Steam save folder (above) and make a copy of these files
- Go to Xbox X save folder (above) and copy and rename with the same name as the Steam folder one
- Copy in the steam folder
- Start the game
- You should have ur saved game ;)

YES you can convert your Gamepass save to steam on ANY game. I did it on Palworld, but it works on any game, here you go:

it is way easyer if you play an xbox studio game and you have a xbox live account because if you decide to play the game on steam and then logg in to your xbox account then you can download the cloud save . I just did that with Avowed after trying those steps from here :)))
