How to save in Crimson Desert explained

If you're wondering how to save in Crimson Desert, then you've come to the right place.

Crimson Desert is already pretty infamous for not making things obvious for players, so it's no surprise that saving is part of that too.

But fear not! We're here to take you through exactly how to save in Crimson Desert, and it's not hard at all.

How to save in Crimson Desert explained

There are two means of saving in Crimson Desert. The first of these is autosave, which automatically saves any time you complete an important action, like talking to an important NPC, solving a puzzle or picking up an important item.

But that's probably not what you're here for; you want to know how to manual save! Thankfully, it's incredible simple.

Unlike other games, where you can simply open up the menu and hit 'Save', Crimson Desert adds a few extra steps to the process, as it does with everything.

To manually save in Crimson Desert, press Start to open up the menu. Next, navigate to the 'Others' tab using RB/R1.

In here, use RT/R2 to navigate all the way to the 'Options' tab at the end.

You'll be presented with a series of options menus, including 'Save/Load Game'.

Simply click on this, choose a slot and save your game as you would in any other title. It really is that simple!

It will certainly be handy for saving in a pinch, though for our review, we did find that the game's autosave was good enough for the vast majority of cases.
