That’s what I am afraid of. I’m kicking myself for buying it on the Xbox sale (instead of the Steam sale at the same time) solely because the Steam version wouldn’t have my progress! Of course, at the time I didn’t have any plans to get a Steam Deck…

Is that true? It’s not for the Halo games. The saves sync with your Microsoft account, which you log into through the Steam version of the game. I still have my 1th nameplate on the steam version of TMCC because it’s tied to my Microsoft account.
In general though, I avoid the Microsoft store at all costs. I have had too many issues. And it is completely incompatible with Linux. I have on many occasions payed full price for a game that is on gamepass just because dealing with all the issues with the Microsoft store isn’t worth my time.

It is for FH4. I actually bought the Steam version to check and then refunded it.

You can just copy your save files over to the steam version

Oh, that’s too bad. Seems like a big miss to leave that feature out.

It’s a very, very intentional move: you must link a Microsoft account to play, but it’s a “different account” so no transfer of saves. So different that it will remember all your records, will show races as already done (lots of fun figuring out what you still need to do), you can edit tunes previously shared (can’t edit them unless they’re yours) and if you want to try and launch both versions of the game it will complain about being already logged in on a different machine.
