Accessing DataStore from another game?
Hello. Is there a method to access DataStore from another game? I want to create place and read data from another place DataStore.

You can't
DataStores don't work across universes, so if you need to store data for two places you're better off either putting them in a Universe together, or using HttpService with a web service such as Trello.

Simply use the same DataStore you used in the first, and read from it just as you would normally.
In one game:
DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataStoreName")
local key = "player_" ..player.userId
DS:SetAsync(key, "Test")
In another:
DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataStoreName") -- Make sure it's the same name!
local key = "player_" ..player.userId
local test = DS:GetAsync(key)
print(test)
Should print Test.
Hope this helped.

As SatireIncarnate said, it'd be easier on you to just put them in the same universe. Pyrondon 2089 — 8y
