Cross-save is possible on B4B?

I played the game using the gamepass from Xbox store however If I buy the game on steam, I would be able to keep my save file or I will have to start over?

Please someone HALP me

It has already been stated, multiple times, that they are separate software ecosystems and you will not be able to transfer progress. It's the biggest reason I didn't go gamepass from the start like so many others. I knew I'd want to own the game in the long run, and I also knew that if I played it on gamepass too long I'd feel locked in to have to keep gamepass forever.

I mean I get what you're saying but the game is purchasable through Microsoft. You don't have to use Game Pass to play it on PC/Xbox using the same client Game Pass users have.

Thanks a lot, that's a shame ):

If you're talking about Xbox Console to Steam then I don't know but Game Pass PC to Steam is possible

I have Game Pass PC but I don't have B4B on Steam so I couldn't test it but I did have the save folder left over from the B4B Steam beta. I looked at both save files from Game Pass and Steam and they have seemingly identical formats. However Game Pass has your save in two big files and Steam has them in more separate files. I also don't know if the cards you unlocked are saved on TRS/WB's servers or if it's local. I recognized the name of my custom decks in the save files on both of the platforms.

I don't think there's that much difference between the Game Pass PC and Steam version after looking at the save file data and since they're both on PC. TRS could make progress between them compatible if they really wanted to.

To be honest I thought it was weird they didn't just have progression be saved to a TRS Account. Ah well.
