Xbox 360 Cloud Storage is not active so far

During the E3 conference, Microsoft announced that the next Xbox 360 updates the company include an interesting feature for gamers who do not have much disk space left: the backup in the cloud. This system allows owners of the island could send game saves to the Internet and retrieve them later without relying on a hard drive. And it appears that this function is already being activated.


According to EuroGamer site, the update that lets you send data to the cloud is already being provided by Microsoft. One reader of the site received this update and warns, however, that it only works with some games from Xbox Live Arcade.

With this update will also come a "dashboard cleaner and easier to use" Microsoft assured during the event. And as you can see above, it is very similar to the interface used in Windows and Windows 7 Phone 8.

In addition to ensuring an extra space in the cloud so that gamers keep your saved games, the new feature also allows them to log in with your gamertag on another Xbox 360 console and download the saves and his custom profiles, including a list of friends, achievements and Microsoft Points, straight from the network.
