Microsoft has introduced a new update across Xbox that aims to simplify users’ experiences when they set about backing up their game captures.
With this update in play, any captures stored on the Xbox network will now be deleted after 90 days. Users can check on their captures’ status via the Captures app, where any images coming close to that 90 day limit will be flagged.
As is apparent with this “new retention approach”, Xbox users will need to ensure any captures they wish to keep for more than that 90 day period are backed up elsewhere or risk losing them forever.
