Crackdown 3: How to Save Your Game

How to Save in Crackdown 3

Crackdown 3 has finally arrived and it brings its unique brand of destructions and combat exclusively to Xbox One and PC owners. If you’re here, you’re likely wondering how to save in Crackdown 3. Fortunately it’s not too hard, here’s how you do it.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a Crackdown game, the last numbered entry being all the way back in 2010 for the Xbox 360. A lot has changed since then, but some things stay the same.

The saving system in Crackdown 3 should be pretty familiar to anyone that has played a modern game. It’s constantly auto-saving. Pretty much any time you do something significant, like complete a mission, it saves and it will also just save randomly too as you travel around the game’s open world.

In addition, you can force an auto-save at anytime by simply quitting out to the main menu via the Menu button. Really, the only way you would lose significant progress is if the power to your Xbox One or PC happened to cut out at the worst possible time.

Keep in mind though, very few missions in Crackdown 3 are lengthy, so even in the worst case scenario possible, you’d probably just lose out on a few minutes of progress. Nothing too serious.

You do have multiple world save files, and agent profiles. However, there are no manually save state options. You can keep multiple games going on at once and work on them individually, but you cannot manually save the game.

That does it for how to save in Crackdown 3. Hopefully that cleared it up so you can play the latest in the long-running series with peace of mind knowing that nothing is going to happen to you precious file if you decide to quit randomly or have to go.
