It's a shame since I have played to completion all of the previous games in the series. I have since cancelled my preorder for Watchdogs and got a refund from Microsoft for the DLC. When I contacted Ubisoft support about the issue, they were short, rude and were uninformed on how the xbox one actually works (They asked if I had backed up my game). If you google "Assassin's Creed black flag save game" you find countless others who have had similar issues. It turns out that most likely the culprit is the Ubisoft UPlay functionality built inherently into the game that caused the issue. The support at Microsoft was very friendly and helpful but unfortunately there was nothing they could do. There is no way to purposefully do this on this console due to the inability for an end-user to see or interact with save game data. One day I logged in and his saved game was on my profile. We had been playing separately for several weeks as intended with no Issues. In my situation my game was overwritten on my profile with my son's data from his profile. Unfortunately Microsoft does not provide a way for an individual to view or even backup save game data like you could with previous consoles or by finding the appropriate save game directory on the PC. Find low everyday prices and buy online for delivery or in-store pick-up. This game on the Xbox one however is horrifically broken due to the inexplicable nature of randomly losing save progress and in my case, completely losing my save game (after untold hours of play). Shop Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag Xbox 360 at Best Buy. Here was my experience: I was thoroughly enjoying it as I had with the previous Assassin's Creed games.

If you or any of your friends are considering buying this for the Xbox One, I would recommend against it.
