## Remarks

An XGameSaveBlob or simply a blob, is a buffer which contains data saved by a game. It also contains information about itself in the form of [XGameSaveBlobInfo](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/system/xgamesave/structs/xgamesaveblobinfo.md). This info includes its name and size so that it can be read appropriately. Blobs reside inside of **XGameSaveContainers**. A container can hold multiple blobs and acts like a folder for groups of related blobs. In order to read, write, or delete a blob you must first identify the correct container for that blob. Once you've identified the correct container you can enumerate the blobs within it by calling [XGameSaveEnumerateBlobInfo](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/system/xgamesave/functions/xgamesaveenumerateblobinfo.md) or [XGameSaveEnumerateBlobInfoByName](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/system/xgamesave/functions/xgamesaveenumerateblobinfobyname.md). Blobs may be read by calling [XGameSaveReadBlobData](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/system/xgamesave/functions/xgamesavereadblobdata.md) or [XGameSaveReadBlobDataAsync](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/system/xgamesave/functions/xgamesavereadblobdataasync.md)
