How to Save in Days Gone

Saving your game in Days Gone is crucial to avoid losing progress, especially in the dangerous open world filled with Freakers and hostile survivors. The game offers multiple ways to save, each suited for different situations. Here’s a breakdown of how to save in Days Gone.

1. Quicksave at Your Bike

The easiest way to save in Days Gone is by using the quicksave feature at your motorcycle. To quicksave:

• Stand next to your bike.
• Wait for the “Quicksave” prompt to appear.
• Press the button to save your game.

This is useful for when you’re exploring or about to engage in a risky situation, as it allows you to save almost anywhere your bike is parked. However, quicksaves only store one save slot, meaning it will overwrite your previous quicksave, and you will want to make sure you keep your bike repaired.

2. Quicksave at a Bed

If you’re near a safe location, such as a camp or one of Deacon’s hideouts, you can also quicksave at a bed. To do this:

• Approach the bed inside a camp or hideout.
• Look for the “Quicksave” prompt.
• Quicksave your game.

Beds also allow you to advance time, which can be helpful if you want to switch between daytime and nighttime gameplay.

3. Manual Saves (Multiple Save Slots)

For more control over your progress, you can create a manual save instead of relying on quicksaves. This is useful if you want to create multiple backup points before making important decisions or taking on tough battles.

To manually save your game:

• Stand near your bike or a bed.
• Press the Options button on your controller.
• Select “Save Game” from the menu.
• Choose an available slot.

Unlike quicksaves, manual backup let you store multiple backup files, making it easier to reload past points in your playthrough.

Times When You Can’t Save

There are certain situations where saving is temporarily disabled, including:

• During active missions – You must complete the mission before saving.
• When in combat – If enemies are nearby, you need to escape or defeat them before saving.
• Inside certain restricted areas – Some locations won’t allow saving until you leave.

Using a combination of quicksaves and manual backup ensures you don’t lose progress while playing Days Gone. Quicksaving at your bike or a bed is great for convenience, while manual give you more flexibility if you want multiple points.
