Why do my worlds keep disappearing after saving?

-

I’ve been having a frustrating issue with my game on console where every world I create gets deleted. Initially, I lost progress on my first world and thought I could start fresh. I created a new world, did some gameplay, saved it and exited, but when I came back later, it was gone! I decided to test it further by making yet another world, saving it again, and to my dismay, it disappeared as well. Is this a common problem for others, and how can I fix it?

Just a thought, but if you’re using any symbols in your world names, that can sometimes cause corruption, especially on PC. I’ve heard it can mess things up, but since you mentioned you’re using a regular name, that shouldn’t be the case.

Make sure you’re saving and exiting properly before you turn off your console. Sometimes just switching off right after playing can mess things up.
