Quick Save: Keeping Your Progress Safe
Saving your game on the Nintendo Switch is mostly a breeze. For most games, the process is automatic. Yes, you heard that right! As you play, the game often saves your progress at certain points, like after completing a level or reaching a checkpoint. This means you can pick up right where you left off without worrying too much.
However, some games also offer manual saving. This can usually be done through the game’s pause menu. Here, you’ll typically find an option to save your game. It’s a good habit to manually save your progress now and then, especially after completing challenging parts of the game.
