Remarks

This function isn’t safe to call on a time-sensitive thread. For more information, see Time-sensitive threads.
You need to successfully call XGameSaveCreateUpdate before making this call. The storage portion of this API is designed to easily transfer data from the game to persisted storage in a safe, reliable and transactional manner. We want to make sure the backing data for a container is always consistent and as such we want the whole operation to succeed or fail atomically. We don’t want to have a partial update where some blob data is inconsistent with other data within the container. In order to do this we provide an update context that blob writes and deletes are submitted to and when that is ready the whole context is submitted. In practice this looks like the following: An XGameSaveUpdate will be filled with Write and Delete actions to be carried out on blobs within the container by way of XGameSaveSubmitBlobWrite and XGameSaveSubmitBlobDelete. An update is completed by calling XGameSaveSubmitUpdate. See the XGameSaveCreateUpdate examples for usage.
