I downloaded the latest server 1.16.220.02 today and updated the XBOX.  This issue has been resolved for me.

I downloaded the bedrock server update released today I think, 1.16.220.02 and updated the bedrock server.  Earlier today the xbox client was not updated, but I just check and it is now updated to the same version.

I am HAPPY to report that for me anyways, the second join (split screen) on the XBOX issue is fixed.  The second player was able to join and maintain their inventory and XP.

I also wanted to just let those know who run their own bedrock servers that you can use a tool created by FoxyNoTail that will created automated backups of your worlds.  I use it on mine.  There is a youtube video on how to install/run it as well.  I'll post a link here.  It definitely saved us a lot of grief with this bug.

The patch where they have fixed the Player 2 bug on xbox has not been released yet.  It is still in Beta.  The version is 1.16.220.52.

This issue is reported as being fixed in 1.16.220.52.  I look forward to its release and testing it.

Another point I should add.  After player 2 joins on the xbox, if they bail out after noticing everything inventory is empty and XP is 0, then player 1 leaves and player 2 starts as player 1, the XP is back to where it should be and the inventory is restored.

But even after that, if they join as player 2 again, all is lost.

I updated my bedrock server to 1.16.210.06 but the issue remains.

I updated my bedrock server to 1.16.210.06.   The issue still persists.

Agreed @Steve Miler we've turned our bedrock server off to prevent any permanent loss of inventory or XP until this issue is fixed.  Its unfortunate that the kids can't enjoy playing a game they really enjoy

It doesn't appear to matter what is in your inventory at least from the xbox.  I launched the game on the xbox, and joined the bedrock server.  Emptied my inventory and armor into a chest.  Logged off.  Joined as my son via the xbox and then joined as my character again.  His character loaded fine.  My character had 0 XP, apon launch.  Fell from a high place directly above the original spawn point of the world (Not where I was when I logged off moments before) and all my chests were empty.

I quit the game without saving, logged off my son, joined the server again as the sole user and had all my experience back, started where I had previously left off, and chests were full.  Joined my son to the server in split screen on the xbox and rinse and repeat (he had 0 xp, fell from a high place, no items in chests and was at the original spawn point.)

Since 1.16.210 when a second player joins in split screen on the Xbox One X they join as if a new player.

I just wanted to add that this happens when the second player joining joins via split screen on the same xbox.  I will test if the same thing happens when other players join from other devices. eg. iPads.
