XGP-save-extractor extracts and backs up save files from Xbox Game Pass games using a Python script.
About XGP-save-extractor
XGP-save-extractor is an open-source Python script for extracting and backing up save files from Xbox Game Pass for PC games. It is hosted on GitHub and includes a main.py script, a games.json list, and releases with a one-file executable.
When run, the script scans for supported game saves installed for the current user and creates a ZIP file for each one found. In most cases, the files in the ZIP can be copied to the save directory of the Steam or Epic version of the game. The project documentation points to PCGamingWiki for Steam/Epic save locations and maintains tables of supported and incompatible games.
It suits players who are moving a playthrough from Xbox Game Pass for PC to Steam or Epic, and those who want a local backup copy of their Game Pass saves. Use requires Python 3.10+ if running from source, or downloading the release executable.
