Microsoft has made good on its promise and implemented cloud storage of profiles and game saves on Xbox 360. A recent update, noticed by Eurogamer reader Erik B, has made it possible to recover your Xbox Live gamertag across multiple Xbox 360 consoles and access save data.
However, it is only possible with certain Xbox Live Arcade games.
Microsoft announced its plan to introduce cloud storage for Xbox Live profiles and game saves during E3 last month.
"We are making it easier for you to sign into your Xbox Live account from any console at any time to access your game saves and full profile," said Live exec Marc Whitten.
"Cloud storage will allow you to enjoy the same great Xbox Live gaming experience even when you're not in your own living room by giving you the option to store your 'game saves' securely in the Xbox Live cloud, instead of on a portable memory unit or your console's hard drive.
"Gone are the days of 'gamertag recovery'. Now all you need to do is sign in, no matter where you are!"
Also included in cloud storage are items such as Microsoft Points, Achievements and friends.
