How to save in Monster Hunter Wilds
You can manually save in Monster Hunter Wilds through your pause menu at almost any time during your adventure.

There are a few different ways you can make sure your progress has been saved in Monster Hunter Wilds:
In the 'system' tab of the pause menu you'll have an option to save your game. Simply select the 'save' option here and confirm that's what you want to do - it couldn't be easier.
Also, if you want to exit the game and return to the title screen through the 'system' tab, then you'll get an automatic choice on whether or not to save before you do so. We highly recommend always saving before you exit the game if you've done anything or collected any items.
If you've been manually saving your game then you'll also be able to quickly access the save option through the recently viewed tab of your pause menu. Here, you've given quick access to any functions you've previously used or have been using when entering this menu.
Does Monster Hunter Wilds have autosave?
There is autosave in Monster Hunter Wilds and this will trigger at major points during quests, such as before or after you complete a hunt, or when you reach specific checkpoints. However, we have noticed that the autosave triggers are few and far between, so if you want to make sure your current progress is saved then we strongly advise using manual save too.
