Do I keep my save files if I switch from old gen to new gen?

At the moment I am playing F1 22 on Xbox One S but I am considering to switch to Xbox Series S. Therefore I am asking that will all my saves, setups, customisation items be kept if I switch from and old gen console to a new gen one?

  • @LB430317 unfortunately not…. you’ll only keep your pitcoin and anything you’ve bought with it or unlocked through podium pass.

    Hi, it may be obsolete but I made a similar transition with F1 2021 (from PS4 to PS5), by buying the (double) digital copy and installing the PS4 version (on PS5) I was able to copy the files via usb and continue the championship! But I don't know if it's still valid with F1 22 nor on Xbox…

    Cheers,

  • Not sure why people are answering you that it is not possible. It is possible and I did about 1 month ago. 
    You need to have both the Xbox One and your new Xbox series S running on the same network, then you go into the settings on the old one and allow Network transfer, do the same setting on your new Series S. Now on your Series X the old One should be found via the network and simply choose which game to copy and once done your save game is copied over to the Series S. 
    Voila!

    in the link you have all steps explained.

    @Isalitt2008Not sure about xbox. But ps5 you can play either ps4/ps5 games. You can play ps4 saved games on ps5 providing you have installed and play the ps4 version off the game,

    you can’t use saved ps4 saved game files with a Ps5 game 

    I assume it the same for Xbox 

  • If you read my reply I had the F1 22 Xbox One version of the game and moved the saved game files to the Xbox series S version of the game to the new next gen console. It works in this way on Xbox.

    Of course it is possible to play the last gen games on Series S/X but all save files are not there via the saves on the cloud. It is basically the same game code but with enhanced graphics therefore the save files works seamlessly on both.
