Watch_Dogs 2 on Stadia not using cross-progression save?

The first day deal on Watch_Dogs 2 was pretty tempting, so I jumped on it, but when I booted it up, it didn't bring over my existing save from the PC platform, which I know is sync'd to the "Ubi cloud", so to speak. Am I missing a step? WD2 is one of the games that was advertised to have cross-progression support, so I expected to see it there. Don't want to play past the refund window without knowing if I'm gonna have to start over.

@Ravenlock I did a quick search and found the article below. Looks like cross save between PC and Stadia is not automatic. Have you tried following the steps listed in the article below?

If not, can you give it a shot and see if it works?

@Ivan  That article is talking about Watch_Dogs: Legion, I don't believe Watch_Dogs 2 has the same save upload functionality in the menus.

I have confirmed that my Stadia and Ubisoft accounts are linked, however.

I further confirmed that my PC save is in the cloud (by doing a new install and having it download), and then briefly played and updated that save so it would do a new upload. Still nothing in the Stadia version.

@Ravenlock Apologies, somehow I read Watch Dogs on your post and though it was for Legion.

From my understanding Watch Dogs 2 doesn't support cross save. I found a post asking the same thing, and a Ubi employee gave the answer, but this was back in 2016.

Did you read somewhere that Watch Dogs 2 support cross save? If yes, can you post the link to the article?

@Ivan  No worries. Ubisoft's support website is a hellscape, but the closest thing I can find right now is this:

https://support.ubisoft.com/en-US/Article/000079203/CrossProgression-Availability-During-Cloud-Gamin...

Which claims that at least for Luna, Watch Dogs 2 supports cross progression with Ubisoft Connect.

I would hope that would be equally true for Stadia, but at the moment I can't find it written down, no.

I suppose that since Luna basically is just a Windows PC and Stadia is not, there may be incompatibilities there, but it'd be disappointing to think that the upcoming Ubisoft+ launch on Stadia wouldn't include carrying over save data from anything older than the most recent games.

@Ravenlock So it looks like the cross save feature is related to Ubisoft Plus. Considering Ubisoft Plus is not yet available on Stadia, I'm thinking we need to wait until the service is available for Stadia first.

The wording is a bit confusing, but the fact that it says 'CROSS-PROGRESSION AVAILABILITY DURING CLOUD GAMING BETA' makes me think the feature is not yet available for Stadia.

@Ivan That may be the case. If it is, I guess we won't have long to wait to find out, since U+ is supposed to arrive this month. I wish they were better about communicating... literally anything, ever.
