1.6 Update Cross-saving?

[Lukassz]

Hi, I was just wondering if its possible to play the same save (not at the same time obviously) on different devices? I know it wasnt possible before but is it now that we have 1.6 on console too?

Thanks for answering :)

Hello Lukassz and Welcome to the Forums! Unfortunately consoles doesn't allow access to the save files to move them off or onto them. Android and iOS have access but it's a bit of a pain to manage and PC/Mac/Linux have easily moveable saves. But the more controlled environment of the consoles prevent save moving at this time, sorry.

Honestly as a mobile player I'd say IOS saves are easier to manage and send around than even PC saves, though android is much more painful in the recent updates

I would say that sending saves back and forth can be worth it for trips, but I wouldn't be sending it over twice a day to play on the ride to work then at home, that just seems like a load of effort when you could have two parallel saves.

For Android install this app to gain access to your files: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marc.files
I was able to get my tablet file into steam this way.

Just registered to say that other games have cross platform saves. e.g. No Mans Sky. So technically it’s possible.
