Raise the 2GB World Size Limit on Xbox Bedrock Edition

The 2GB world size limit on Minecraft for Xbox is outdated and extremely limiting, especially in 2025. With features like Redstone, commands, add-ons, RTX, and long-term survival or creative builds, world sizes can easily go beyond 2GB. Xbox Series X and Series S have enough storage and power to support much larger save files, and the 2GB cap punishes players who want to build big or use the game’s full potential. Many of us are hitting the limit even with just a couple of active worlds, and the only option is to delete them — which discourages creativity and hurts the experience. Please raise the limit to at least 10GB, or give us options to: • Manage world storage more easily • Turn off automatic cloud sync for large worlds • Transfer worlds externally without relying on Realms This would make a huge difference for serious builders, long-term players, and Minecraft fans who use the game the way it was meant to be played.

    Actually, that limit should go up to the console's available save data storage.

    I greatly second this.
    A lot of us can't afford to use a realm; especially if we want to game with friends. Which is the biggest draw of building in the game.

    And what happens to our realm worlds is we don't pay for the realm for a while? Do they just delete it?

    What exactly  is the storage limit for Xbox Series X? And what exactly is the cloud server limit for syncing? The game can't decide when to sync and when not to. Some days it syncs but most days it refuses.
    I have a world on the cloud that claims to be 1.6gb (impossible), and it refuses to sync to my console. And it's twin on my console refuses to sync to the cloud.

    Console gamers NEED to be able to export our worlds. If my console crashes/bricks, then I have years of work down the drain just because it refuses to sync to the cloud and can't export!

    To make matters worse, the console literally hides all minecraft worlds within it's system. There's no way to access the world files through any file browser app.
    They should at least let us export our worlds for safe keeping and sharing, as they do on Windows. Same for importing said worlds.

    You can add custom character skins to that list as well.

    It’s horrible, people wanna play their worlds and explore, your updates add new things and yet we are punished for loading in new chunks, you give us no real way of deleting chunks and don’t say the shady websites that can corrupt your worlds that Xbox and other players can’t even use, we make backups for new updates and run out of space like let me choose how much storage to give to Minecraft and my main world
