I wish they had implemented this sooner. For a very long while, Microsoft logins were broken on the Deck and only just got fixed a few months ago, if I remember right. Before that, you had to blindly enter your credentials and hope you were clicking the right spots and it was picking up your typed words. It was a mess.

But this is good news to hear. While Sony shoots themselves in the foot by requiring it, Microsoft’s studios’ devs are going the opposite direction. Hope to see more of this.

I wasn’t really sure what the benefit was of having the account linked anyway. Because I was hoping to sync my backyards across devices so I could play on the go, but it didn’t seem to do that when I finally could log into Microsoft successfully.

I'm actually surprised it does not transfer saves. For MCC when I logged into Xbox it brought over save data and achievements from Xbox or am I misunderstanding. ( I actually don't play grounded)

It does. Or, did anyway. I have no idea now, cause I got the game before they took this out. I already knew my Microsoft login because I had just recently unsubbed from game pass, and that's part of the reason why I bought it on steam.
