How to Quick Save in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has an autosave feature that works constantly, but sometimes it’s not enough to rely on. Especially if you’re playing handheld and your Nintendo Switch battery life is low. You never want to take a chance on losing valuable progress.

All you need to do to quick save is simply hit the X button to pull up your menu. From here, just click the Y button to start the quick save. It’s that easy. Now you’ve saved your progress and don’t have to worry about weird loss of progress. Make sure you do this before and after big story moments, boss fights, and anything else you might want to have a hard save for.

You have three separate manual save options in the game, and using all of them can give you access to different points. If you ever want to go back and redo something, this is an easy way to relive a boss fight, plot beat, or just redo some character builds if you feel so inclined. It’s really up to you on how you use them, but it’s a good idea to keep multiple saves.
