Save game cloud syncing is the process of having save game data automatically synced to cloud storage.

Advantages

Cloud syncing has a number of benefits:

  • Automatic backup protects against catastrophic data loss like hard drive crashes.
  • Continue a game on another PC such as a laptop seamlessly.
  • Ability to store save games for long term retrieval (useful for series such as Mass Effect which spanned over 4 years).
