Here is How to Back UP your XBOX Screenshots and Videos, because Microsoft will delete those after 90 days
If you're an Xbox gamer, you've probably taken your fair share of screenshots and captured some epic game clips. But did you know that Microsoft is deleting all of these game captures after 90 days? That's right, if you don't back them up, they'll be gone forever.
Don't worry, there are a few easy ways to back up your Xbox screenshots and game clips. In this blog post, we'll show you how to do it on your console, your PC, and an external drive.
How to back up your Xbox screenshots and game clips via your console
There are two ways to back up your Xbox game captures to your console:
Upload them to OneDrive: To do this, press the Xbox button on your controller and navigate to My games & apps > See all > Apps > Captures. On this page, you can hit the Manage button and select all captures. After, you can select Upload to OneDrive to store them on the cloud. For most people, this is a good option as long as you have enough free space on OneDrive. If you have a free account, you have 5GB of storage.
Copy them to an external drive: To do this, plug an external hard drive or a USB thumb drive to your Xbox. Then, select all of the captures and choose the Copy to external drive option to back them up to the external or USB drive.
Upload new game captures to an external drive
If you're tired of having to manually back up your game captures all the time, you can choose to record them directly to an external drive. Microsoft recommends using a USB 3.0 or faster drive for this purpose, since you want something that can keep up with live recording.
To do this, plug in your external drive and press the Xbox button on your controller. Then, navigate to Profile & system > Settings > System > Storage. Now, pick your external drive on this page and choose Set as capture location. Keep the drive plugged in as long as the console is running; the next time you take a screenshot or game clip, your Xbox will directly save it to the external drive.
Back up Xbox game captures from your PC
If your primary gaming device is your PC, you can back up your Xbox game captures to your PC. To do this, press Windows + G to launch Windows Game Bar. Then, go to the Widgets menu and click Gallery. Select any of your screenshots or game clips from this page and click Open file location.
This action will take you to where all of your game captures are saved. You can quickly copy these files to your backup drive or upload them to the cloud storage service of your choice.
There you have it! Now you know how to back up your Xbox screenshots and game clips. We recommend that you back them up regularly, so you don't lose any of your precious memories.
