New policy for storing game captures, plus a new easy way to back them up

Starting today we’re updating the way the Xbox network retains game captures. Game captures stored on the Xbox network will be deleted after 90 days. To back up any clips or screenshots you wish to keep indefinitely, follow the steps listed in our Back up your clips article. To double check the status of your game captures, go to the Captures app to view your game captures stored on the Xbox network to see if any are marked for an upcoming deletion.

Alongside this new retention approach, we’re making it easier than ever to back up all your game captures to either OneDrive or an external storage device of your choice.

You can move, manage, and bulk upload where you store your captures on your Xbox console. To do so, press the Xbox button, and then go to My games & apps > See all > Apps > Captures. You’ll see a “Tell me more” button where you can get started. You’ll also be able to set up future captures to automatically back up to OneDrive so you never have to wonder if everything is backed up.

Thanks to the built-in Microsoft Clipchamp video editor on your PC, you can also create videos of your epic gaming moments for the game captures you save to OneDrive. Trim, crop, add text, transitions, and other effects. Afterward, you can easily share these videos with your friends, family, and followers.

Find events for your favorite games

We’re making it easier for players to find and download popular apps when setting up a new console. Now when you set up a new console either from the Xbox mobile app or directly on the console, you’ll get the option to download popular apps like Apple Music, AppleTV, Crunchyroll, Disney+, Hulu, Movies & TV, Peacock, Spotify, and Tubi. Downloading apps during setup saves you time later—your favorite apps will be ready to go when you are. Separate subscriptions may be required.

Backing up your game captures just got easier​

We’ve added options in the My Captures app so that you can easily access, share, and back up all your game captures to either Microsoft OneDrive or an external storage device of your choice.

Because game clips or screenshots uploaded to the Xbox network may be deleted after 90 days, be sure to back up any that you wish to keep indefinitely. Find steps on how to back up and manage your clips or screenshots in our support article below, or open the Captures app to view your game captures stored on the Xbox network and see if any are marked for an upcoming deletion.

Back up your game captures

Also, if you back up your game captures to OneDrive, you can create videos of your epic gaming moments using the built-in Microsoft Clipchamp video editor on your PC. Trim, crop, add text, and create transitions or other effects. When done, you can share these videos with your friends, family, and followers.
