| - | - | | No current scenario. | Not Relevant (-4) | | | Following a profile change, a user with no existing save data has their option settings initialized with those of the previous user, rather than defaults. | Very Minor (1) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, a user with existing saved data has their core or noncore option settings initialized with those of a previous user. | Minor (2) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | No current scenario. | Moderate (6) | | | Following a profile change, a user with existing save data has their game state overwritten. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the title doesn't correctly load a user's game state. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the title doesn't allow the user to progress. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, all areas of the title that identify the user aren't updated. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the title continues to award save data to the first user without seeking confirmation. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the title allows the newly signed in XBOX profile to create save files and unlock achievements using the progress of the signed out user. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the new user can alter a prior user's save data, state, or profile after they have signed out. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | No current scenario. | Catastrophic (22) | | *Notes* * User state includes: user progress, saved state, preferences, achievements, or other awards. * The title might only associate save progress, achievements, and preferences to the current active XBOX Profile. #### 052-02 User change during suspended | Scenario | Severity | Platform | | - | - | - | | No current scenario. | Not Relevant (-4) | | | Following a profile change, a user with no existing save data has their option settings initialized with those of the previous user, rather than defaults. | Very Minor (1) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, a user with existing saved data has their core or noncore option settings initialized with those of a previous user rather than defaults. | Minor (2) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | No current scenario. | Moderate (6) | | | Following a profile change, a user with existing save data has their game state overwritten. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the title doesn't correctly load a user's game state. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the title doesn't allow the user to progress. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, all areas of the title that identify the user aren't updated. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the title continues to award save data to the first user without seeking confirmation. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the title allows the newly signed in XBOX profile to create save files and unlock achievements using the progress of the signed out user. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | Following a profile change, the new user can alter a prior user's save data, state, or profile after they have signed out. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series | | No current scenario. | Catastrophic (22) | | *Notes* * User state includes: user progress, saved state, preferences, achievements, or other awards. * The title might only associate save progress, achievements, and preferences to the current active XBOX Profile. #### 052-05 Correct user association | Scenario | Severity | Platform | | - | - | - | | No current scenario. | Not Relevant (-4) | | | No current scenario. | Very Minor (1) | | | Saved data with minor gameplay implications (for example, screen boundary setting) is carried across from one user to another. | Minor (2) | XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows | | Saved data with moderate gameplay implications (for example, HUD layout) is carried across from one user to another. | Moderate (6) | XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows | | Saved data with privacy (for example, recent searches) or major gameplay implications (for example, gameplay progress) is carried across from one user to another. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows | | The title doesn't reflect any change in active user. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows | | No current scenario. | Catastrophic (22) | | *Notes* * Use the `ConnectedStorage` classes for titles only if they save data locally. It's fine for a title to save data only online and not use `ConnectedStorage`. * If you can find the save data in the **Manage Game** area of XBOX Home, the save was created by using `ConnectedStorage`. #### 052-06 Cloud storage: Roaming | Scenario | Severity | Platform | | - | - | - | | No current scenario. | Not Relevant (-4) | | | No current scenario. | Very Minor (1) | | | Options reset when booting the title on a second console, without any user interaction. | Minor (2) | XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows | | Option settings don't roam between XBOX and Windows devices. On Windows, in-title video settings are exempt. | Minor (2) | XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows | | No current scenario. | Moderate (6) | | | The title doesn't roam save data between the same platform generation (for example, XBOX One to XBOX One S), Windows device, or between a console and Windows device (when supported) but saved data isn't lost. | Critical (12) | XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows | | Roamed save data as a whole is overwritten by the title when booting on a second console or device, without any user interaction, such that data is lost/reset. | Catastrophic (22) | XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows | | When the title uses `ConnectedStorage`: -The title doesn't synchronize to the cloud, or displays an error message -The title fails to synchronize cloud save data back onto the device where the saved data was originally created, after the profile roams to another device. | Catastrophic (22) | XBOX One, XBOX Series, Windows | *Notes* * Titles that share a TitleID across devices (for example, PC and console) aren't required to roam saved data, but it's highly recommended. * Due to the variation of graphics cards across PCs, any in-title video settings aren't expected to roam. Generally, they're expected to change to safe or default settings when roaming to a new PC for the first time and these settings are likely only stored locally. * Use the `ConnectedStorage` classes for titles only if they save data locally. It's fine for a title to save data only online and not use `ConnectedStorage`. * If you can find the saved data in the **Manage Game** area of XBOX Home, the save was created by using `ConnectedStorage`. * Suggested probability of 2. ## Related topics - [XR-052 User State and Title-Save Location, Roaming and Dependencies](https://docs.xbox.com/publishing/certification/xr/xr-052.md) - [Certification Tested XBOX Requirements for XBOX Games](https://docs.xbox.com/publishing/certification/console-cert-tested-requirements.md) - [XBOX Requirements for XBOX Games](https://docs.xbox.com/publishing/certification/xbox-requirements.md) - [Game Saves developer guide](https://docs.xbox.com/build/core-features/common/game-save/game-saves-developer-guide.md) - [Top failing test cases](https://docs.xbox.com/publishing/certification/xr-top-failing.md)
