- Transferring Worlds Xbox 360 -> Xbox One
It’s quite simple to transfer worlds that you’ve created on Xbox 360 to Xbox One. However, only one save can be stored on Xbox One at a time. If you want to play a different world that you created on Xbox 360, you will have to delete the current saved one and transfer a new one from your Xbox 360.
To do this, launch Minecraft on your Xbox 360 and select “Play Game”. After that, select the saved game that you want to transfer and press the “Y” button from the controller. Now, launch Minecraft on Xbox One and select “Play Game” and after that tap the “X” button from your controller and the game will start downloading your old map. After that, just select the world you want to enter and press the “A” button. That’s it, now you will enter your old world from Xbox 360 version on your Xbox One and you will be able to continue your hard work that you started on your old console.
