Hey there! I recently had my saved data corrupted for Dark Souls 3 and in this short video I explain how I managed to fix it.

The local save file on my Xbox One for Dark Souls 3 was corrupted and I fixed it by deleting the local save file (that's the saved data on the hard drive of my Xbox).

I tried the in game option when the message popped up of deleting and creating a new save but it didn't work, and I wouldn't recommend this as I'm not sure if it's deleting the local file or everything.

Make sure if you decide to try this to delete the save file from your local machine ONLY! If you delete it from everywhere then it's gone - poof! FOREVER!

When I re-launched the game it synced my data from the cloud and I was able to continue playing with my character that has ~200 hours play time on it! :O

All the usual warnings that this may not work for you, depending on your circumstances and also that your data is stored on the cloud.

I think that I corrupted the save file when I reset my Xbox before it was finished with it's shutdown sequence. It was really stupid of me but at least I managed to retrieve my save again.

I hope this helps and as always... PRAISE THE SUN! \[T]/
