Starfield is an expansive game, allowing players to invest countless hours. As with any game, it is crucial to regularly save progress. Unforeseen crashes, power outages, or regrettable decisions may occur. Having an additional save file serves as a valuable safety net. This guide presents Starfield players with various saving options to customize according to their preferences. It also elucidates the process of creating a save file and provides instructions on manually saving the game at their convenience.
Save Options
In Starfield, players have the ability to personalize their saving options, ensuring that the game caters to their individual preferences. By accessing either the Main Menu or the Pause Menu, gamers can navigate to the Settings and then select Gameplay to modify their desired options. The following table showcases all the customizable options available in the game's settings:
Save Option | How it works |
---|---|
Save on Rest | Activating this option enables autosave when the player goes to sleep. |
Save on Wait | Activating this option enables autosave when the player is waiting to skip time. |
Save on Travel | Activating this option enables autosave when the player decides to fast travel. |
Save on Pause | Activating this option enables the game to save once the player pauses it after a preferred amount of time. Here are the options available:
Players can keep pressing the right arrow until they've reached "disable" to disable the Save on Pause option. |
How to Manually Save
Players have the option to save their game by accessing the Data Menu and selecting the System option. Within this menu, players can choose to either quicksave or save the game.
When gamers choose to quicksave, their previous quicksave will be overwritten. Although a new save point will still be created, players will no longer have access to the previous one. This option is suitable for players who do not intend to revisit their previous save point and are unconcerned about losing it.
To facilitate easy navigation in their space adventure, players can consider creating separate save files. This is why there are two save options available, each with distinct functionalities. Additionally, it is advisable to periodically create new save files to safeguard against unexpected crashes or errors that may hinder game progress.
Starfield is currently accessible for PC and Xbox Series X/S users.
