Hypothetically (Howdy btw to all...), If you knew someone (Not meeeee), Who might have a problem with impulsive game system purchasing and (for whatever reason) were to have acquired a brand new shiny Xbox One (CODAW edition... WITH 1 FRICKING TARABYTE!!!) and was contemplating firing it up. Would said friend (buddy,....pal...) be able to resume all that he had acquired on said previous XB1? In other words is all that stuff I've (I mean "he"....., ...of course HE!) accrued still floating out in the ether ((XBOX Live). Any insight or solid intel would be sincerely appreciated and I will pass it on to my "friend", (pardon me, as I need to enter a twelve step program now) Best to all my buds & future compadres, D, out.
Absolutely, it's all saved to his gamer tag. You just need to download the stuff you....ahem....he wants to keep!
I bit the bullet and got a 2tb external a few days ago then spent another day downloading all the games I had to delete.
Hilarious! I did the same thing! Couldn't help myself... got the COD 1TB XB1 and loving it! Thankfully I can definitely agree with all those here and confirm that all your progress is safe and sound. Install the game and it'll synchronise to the XB servers and you'll never lose a step.
