  • Roaming Saved Game
    Publication number: 20090325690
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are disclosed for a roaming saved game function allowing for location independent access to saved game data. In various embodiments, users may upload saved games when they sign in to an online gaming service, and download them later from another console, PC or other device so that they can continue a saved game wherever they have access to the online gaming service. In one embodiment, users may manage saved game files after signing in to the online gaming service. In other embodiments, the roaming saved game function may provide users with ease of managing their saved games. For example, users may be able to compare two saved games by comparing their level, checkpoint number and screenshot listing. The user may then select one of the saved game files to play and upload.
