Cloud Save#

You can use Unity's Cloud Save service to save persistent player data (such as game progress) from a game into the cloud, making it independent of device. Because it's cloud-based, players can access their data anywhere and across devices, mitigating data loss when a player changes devices or re-installs a game.

Player data is primarily suited for data tied to a specific player (such as save game states and player preferences) that other players won’t need to access.

Data format#

Use Cloud Save to store any kind of player data you want. The saved data exists on Unity servers, and you can access the information from the Unity Dashboard. You can retrieve the data on any device, so your game easily supports cross-platform play.
