RUMOR: Switching Xbox One Regions Or Playing In A Different Region With Killer Instinct Loaded Will Erase Save Data

There have been many, many reports over the last few weeks of Killer Instinct Xbox One players losing their save data. While there could be a number of situations causing the data to be lost, one player has informed us of one way that will certainly delete most of your progress without fail: swapping regions with Killer Instinct loaded.

As you may (or may not) be aware, it’s entirely possible to change the region of your Xbox One to another country. According to Slender Man via Facebook after multiple tests, loading Killer Instinct before having swapped back to your own region will result in the loss of em>all of your hard earned KP, Fight Titles, Ranked wins, and so forth. The only thing that apparently remains intact is the players Dojo progress. But everything else? Gone and unrecoverable.


I labeled this post as a rumor for now until more potential reports come in suggesting a similar scenario. I’ve no reason to doubt Slender Man, so be advised to not under any circumstances load Killer Instinct without the Xbox One being in your own region. And even then, do not swap regions with the game loaded. In doing so, you risk losing everything you’ve worked hard to earn.

For those of you reading this that has lost your save data, do you recall having your Xbox set to a different or swapping regions with KI loaded? If so, then please leave a comment informing us of the situation!
