In the cooperative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, you and up to five other players embark on thrilling, physics-based retrieval missions across various maps. The key to ensuring all your efforts aren't lost lies in understanding how to save your game effectively.
How To Save Your Game in R.E.P.O.
Nothing is more disheartening than loading up your game, expecting to continue from where you left off, only to find that your progress hasn't been saved. This is especially true for new games like *R.E.P.O.*, where the saving mechanics might not be immediately clear. There's no manual save option here, so it's crucial to know the right time to save.
In *R.E.P.O.*, the game autosaves only when you successfully complete a level. If you quit during a mission or die, sending you to the Disposal Arena, your save is lost, and you'll have to start that level over. It's vital to remember that dying in *R.E.P.O.* results in the deletion of your current save file, and leaving mid-level forces you to begin again from the start of that level.
To save your game, you must finish the level by delivering your collected valuables to the Extraction Point. Then, enter the truck or find your way back to it, and hold the message button above your head to signal the Taxman, your AI boss, that you're ready to move to the Service Station. At the Service Station, you can shop for necessary items and then use the same button to proceed to the next level.

Once you leave the Service Station and arrive at your next location, it's safe to exit to the main menu or quit the game. When you or the host (if another player created the save file) restart *R.E.P.O.*, you can resume your game from the new location. Remember, if you're playing in a hosted game, the host is responsible for exiting at the correct time to ensure the game saves properly. When the host quits, all other players will be disconnected.
Now that you're equipped with the knowledge of how to save your game in *R.E.P.O.*, enhance your gameplay further by exploring our other guides to help you and your team succeed in your next mission.
