Nier Replicant: How to Save Your Game

Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139 is an updated version of the Japan-exclusive Nier Replicant that released back in 2010. 11 years later, developers Square Enix and Toylogic has touched up the visuals and re-recorded the iconic soundtrack to make the game feel right at home in 2021. While Nier: Automata felt far more streamlined in its action, Nier Replicant is a lot more open-ended in typical JRPG fashion, with side and fetch quests to complete. In this guide, we’ll run you through how to save your game in Nier Replicant.

Saving Your Game in Nier Replicant

To save your game in Nier Replicant, simply make your way over to the Post Boxes littered throughout the world. These are marked on your map with a light blue circle.

Once you’ve found a Post Box, walk over to it and press Circle/ B and then choose one of the three save slots available. Press X/A to confirm you want to record your progress in the slot and that’s all there is to it.

Auto-Save

Nier Replicant also features an auto-save system which will often trigger just before boss fights, or when you first begin exploring a new area. However, these are more checkpoints for when you’re playing, as when you quit and load the game back up, you’ll have to load from a Post Box save.

Now you know how to save in Nier Replicant, you can take a break from the action knowing your progress is safe and sound. For more tips and tricks, head over to our wiki, or see more of our coverage below.
