Saving Your Game in Metroid Dread

To save your game, you’ll need to make it to one of the ‘Save Station’ rooms found throughout the many winding corridors and paths in the game. You’ll know you’re in the right place when you find a room with a platform in the center with several rings floating behind it, as shown in the screenshot below.

The rooms will also be marked on your map as a ‘Save Station,’ listed just below the percentage of items you’ve collected.

Once in a Save Station, simply stand on the platform in the center of the room and wait for the option to ‘Save Game’ to appear in a pop-up window. Press A to confirm and the game will do the rest.

A short animation will play as Samus gets surrounded and scanned by the floating rings, before being placed back down, ready to continue her adventure.

Is There Auto Save?

Unfortunately, no. There is no auto save feature in Metroid Dread. Whenever you want to stop playing, you’ll need to make your way to one of the Save Station rooms and manually record your progress this way instead.

That’s everything you need to know on how to save in Metroid Dread. For more tips, tricks and guides, be sure to search for Twinfinite, or check out more of our coverage via the links below.
