With Xbox One, you’re ready to play your games anywhere without carrying a disc or keeping a flash drive in your pocket with all your saves. Xbox One syncs your game purchases and your game saves over the internet, meaning you don’t have to keep them on a hard drive or flash drive to play with friends. Log in to a friend’s console and you can pick up where you left off. Any progress you make on your friend’s console syncs back to your Xbox One at home.
