Red Dead Redemption 2 How to Save the Game Manually

October 25, 2018 by PowerPyx 9 Comments

Red Dead Redemption 2 has a Manual Save function. This guide will explain how RDR2’s save system works:

To make a manual save:

  1. Open Pause Menu
  2. Click on Story
  3. Save Game

You have 15 manual save slots. It’s highly recommended you keep a save from the start and end of every chapter. You can also replay story missions at any time in the Pause Menu under ‘Progress’.

By default, the game creates an auto-save at certain checkpoints. Beware though that quitting the game during a mission usually makes you replay the entire mission from scratch. Especially during chapter transitions you don’t want to make this mistake. Sometimes when a new chapter starts it puts you in a new main mission right away and doesn’t make an auto-save. Always play until you can make a manual save just to make sure nothing gets lost.

And that’s all there is to know about saving the game in Red Dead Redemption 2. For more guides check out our full Red Dead Redemption 2 Wiki & Strategy Guide.

    I’m a big fan of your site a truly appreciate the work you put into your videos. As far as the save system in Red Dead Redemption 2 is concerned, I have a question. I noticed your standard profile save file, as well as the original and duplicate backup files for both the autosave and the manual save I made. Is it normal for a game to have a duplicate save file?

    Hi I’m on chapter 2 and as everyone else who purchased this game I also can’t save it. I tried everything but save is locked. I never used cheats. I’m not in any mission . Tried at camp fire … nothing working . No autosave nothing.

    My main problem is that if i save, it won’t load me back where i was, it puts me somewhere near. Also, if i had something with me f.e. a cart of logs, this crap ge looses that. The bounties are saved, my progress does not. For such a big title i am disappointed

      Also also, the autosave is a big piece of crap as well.
      I shit something up, and this game forces me to start over riding a f***** horse for half an hour, that i can watch in cinematic mode, but i must be at it 24/7 cause some wolfs might attack or the horse is tired in the snow; with the bounty i got for pointing my gun instead of saying hallo cause its got to be the same f**** bizton; and without the items i suffer for.
      Jeesus this game is slow, boring and annoying. Nothing revolutionaty here, if you want a decent game install the witcher 3
