You try to load your game but it says "Save data is corrupted" and you have to start over.

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check Cloud Backups

Check PS Plus, Xbox Live, or Steam Cloud for an older version of the save.

2

Verify Game Files

In Steam/Epic, use the "Verify Integrity" tool to fix any broken game data.

3

Delete Local Save

Sometimes deleting the local save forces the system to download a clean one from the cloud.

When to See a Technician

Never turn off your console or PC while the "Saving" icon is on the screen.
