Can the save files from the Steam version of Nier Automata be used in the Microsoft Store version?

Question

With the Microsoft Store version of Nier Automata being released, I'm seriously considering getting that version to play after I lost interest in trying to play the Steam version when it stopped detecting my controllers. I was able to get pretty far into the game (midway 3rd playthrough) so I would like it if I could continue progress from there.
Are the saves compatible? Or will I have to start from scratch?

:< sadly.. I don't think they can be used directly .. the save file's structure is different between 2 version.
Hope the will be some app to convert between them soon xD.

I was able to port my Microsoft store version save to steam version using NierAutoModSave v0.1-jimmyazrael : https://github.com/jimmyazrael/NierAutoModSave
I got my save files from "C:UsersuserAppDataLocalPackages39EA002F.NieRAutomataPC_n746a19ndrrjgSystemAppDatawgs00901FE32A06AED_0000000000000000000000007B6DEDD640CE6D81E3A648E3BC8E849E0BB3A933"
(for the microsoft store Ver). and replace steam saves inside (DocumentsMy GamesNieR_Automata)
the file with the long name is the slotdata file
and the other one is the gamedata (probably).
I don't know if you can do the vise-versa tho.
