How to start a new game in sunset overdrive

Is there any way to start my existing character and start fresh? I guess I tried the game on the free play weekend and I'm not liking the character or remembering the tutorials. Thanks!

How to start a new game in sunset overdrive

level 1

Folks he wants to start a new game with no abilities unlocked, fresh start, not just change the look of his existing character.

level 1

IIRC you have to delete your saves both locally and on the cloud. Unfortunately there is no "new game" option

level 2

how have they not fixed this yet?

level 2

Ok, I'm guessing there's a way to delete cloud saves in the manage storage settings page? Have not tried to do that before. Thanks for the help btw!

level 2

You could just use a new gamertag

level 1

Not sure if you still need to do it.

  1. Go to settings

  2. Go offline

  3. Hit options on Sunset Overdrive

  4. Delete save data

  5. Start game and get to a save point

  6. Go back online

level 2

Thank you!! I had put that game down for a bit, I'll give it another shot.

You need to delete the save. One of the biggest complaints people had with Sunset was that it didn't have a new game + or just a new game option, period.

level 1

I can't even find quit game and I have over 30 yrs gaming experience sheesh

level 2

Xbox home button, hamburger (menu) button, quit :)

level 1

This is such a good idea man! I had bought and played this game when it first came out and traded it back in a week or two later like a fool! Now I have somethjng to play tonight since the division is ruined now! Thanks! So all I need to do is clear my saves under manage game?

level 2

What happened to The Division?

level 1

If anyone still wondering, you can in fact do it but you have to delete your cloud save data

level 2

He doesn't remember tutorials either.

Only way is to delete your save from the dash bpard, just make sure to do a full delete or it will sync to the cloud and re download it.

Why do you want to start a new game? Like the previous poster said, you have to delete your current save. Make sure you disconnect from Xbox Live before you start again though 'cos I have read a few people now saying that if you are online your previous save will be downloaded from the cloud.

  3. how do I start a new game?

This should be easy, but nope... seems impossible...

I have deleted all daved content, but the game just syncs up old saved data from the cloud, which seems impossible to disable or manage in any way! Why the hell is a simple new game option not on the main menu!?

I dont wanna have to jump through hoops to start a new game! I got this game and crushed it a year ago, havent played since, and i feel like my girlfriend would get a kick out of it, but her ex actually played some of the game on her profile...so now neither of us can start fresh and enjoy the game together on either of our profiles...

This is just annoying...could you imagine if this was a game that you could actually screw yourself by not managing your resources and get screwed into a situation you couldnt win? That is a real problem with many rpg's...yet they have multiple manual saves or a new game option...this game absolutely refuses to let you start fresh!!! Limiting a player from enjoying more of your game? Good move insomniac...this could have easily been fixed through an update too...which is even more frustrating...i see many posts complaining about this with either outdated solutions within the xbox one menu's...but never once has insomniac done anything to remedy this annoying situation...
