The Xbox One is harder because saves are locked to your Microsoft account ID.
Note: The process differs significantly between Xbox consoles and the PC version (which was available briefly but is also delisted).
For Xbox One / Series X|S: Utilizing save files on console is complex and requires third-party hardware or software (such as a PC interface for Xbox). However, many players find it easier to simply use the "Cloud Save" sync. If you previously played the game, your old save is likely waiting in the cloud. If you are downloading a save from the internet, you must ensure the console ID matches, or use a tool to rehash and resign the file to your specific profile, which carries a risk of account suspension if done incorrectly.
For PC (Steam/Microsoft Store): Since the PC version was delisted, this is strictly for players who already have the game installed. Save files are usually placed in a specific folder within the AppData or user documents directory, replacing the existing save file.
CRITICAL WARNING: Using a downloaded save file falls into a grey area. Microsoft’s terms of service prohibit cheating. While a save file won’t get you banned for having it (unless you modify online leaderboards), you should use it offline or on an alternate account. Never use modded saves while streaming or in official eSports events.
Below is the standard method for importing a Forza Horizon 2 save game 100 complete hot file. Note that Xbox One saves are encrypted per console, so success is much higher on Xbox 360 or PC emulation (Xenia) .
There are two ways to answer the query: the legitimate way (grinding) and the modded way (save replacement). Both have merit.
Use a road discovery map and bonus board map to finish fast.
Bucket lists can be done in a weekend.
For cars, use the Auction House (though servers for FH2 are unstable after delisting in 2023).
Don’t risk your Microsoft account for a 100% save.
If you still want to try, only use on a spare account offline on an Xbox 360 with no Live connection.
For Xbox One/Series, no safe method exists.
