Xbox 360: New Game ≠ New Profile—Use Save Slots Instead

Creating a new Xbox 360 profile does not start a fresh game save. Save data lives in the game’s own files, not your profile.

How to Start Fresh Without Losing Old Progress

1. Launch the game.
2. Select "New Game" (usually in Main Menu or Campaign/Story).
3. Choose a new save slot.
4. Play—your original save remains untouched in its slot.

Profiles manage gamertag, achievements, friends, settings. Saves manage game progress. Back up saves periodically (USB/Cloud).
