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).
