Lost My Witcher 3 Disc - How Can I Transfer My Save Data?

-

I lost my disc of The Witcher 3 and recently bought a digital version from the Xbox store since it was on sale. The weird thing is, while I can see my old save data on my Xbox Series X, the new game doesn’t seem to recognize it, and I’m starting from scratch. Is there a way to transfer my old save data so I don’t have to replay the game?

You should be able to access your old save data regardless of where you got the game but sometimes the different versions can complicate things. Are you sure you got the same edition? If the new version is a complete edition, it might be treated as a separate game, which could be why it’s not seeing the saves from your disc version. Give it another look!

Yeah, I think that might be the case. If you bought the complete edition, it does count as a different title, so your saves won’t transfer.
