Author:Kristen Update:Mar 31,2025

Dive into the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, a cooperative horror game that challenges up to six players to navigate through various maps, retrieve valuables, and safely extract them. To ensure your efforts are not lost, understanding how to save your game is crucial. Here's a detailed guide on how to save your progress in *R.E.P.O.*

How To Save Your Game in R.E.P.O.

One of the most frustrating experiences for gamers is loading up a game only to find that their latest progress hasn't been saved. This issue is particularly common with new releases. Not all games feature autosave, and some require specific actions or locations to be reached before saving is possible. It's easy to overlook tutorial instructions on saving, and sometimes, the process isn't clearly explained from the start.

In *R.E.P.O.*, it's essential to remember that the game autosaves only when you complete a level. There's no option for manual saving, so if you exit during a retrieval mission or die (which sends you to the Disposal Arena), your progress will be lost, and you'll need to restart the level. Upon death in *R.E.P.O.*, your save file is deleted, and exiting mid-level means you'll have to start that level over from the beginning.

To save your game, you must successfully complete a level by delivering your valuables to the Extraction Point, then enter or return to the truck. Hold the message button above your head to signal the AI boss, the Taxman, that it's time to head to the Service Station. At the Service Station, you can shop and prepare for the next level. Use the same button to proceed to your next location.

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 original save file) next opens the game, you can resume *R.E.P.O.* as usual. It's important to note that the game's 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.
