cloud save
Online game storage
Cloud save refers to storing video game progress on remote servers rather than locally on a device.
This allows players to continue their game across different machines or recover progress if hardware fails: I lost my console but my cloud saves kept everything.
The feature has become standard on modern gaming platforms.
