Diablo 4 how to save game and autosave explained

Diablo 4 has a number of difficulty levels framed as World Tiers to cater to seasoned veterans and newbies alike. Saving game progress is one of the most essential things you’ll need to know when playing the game. However, it’s far more simple than you would first expect and we’ll detail how it works in this guide.

How to save your game in Diablo IV

Saving a game in Diablo 4 is easy. You don’t actually have to do anything. There is a real-time autosave function that runs in the background, which will automatically save your game as you progress. To save, you simply need to play along and your progress will be logged. However, there are a few caveats. If you decide to close the game during a dungeon encounter, all of your items and inventory will be saved, but the progression through the dungeon will be reset. Make sure to check out our how to reset dungeons guide if you want further information on this.

The other way to save your game is via the ‘Leave Game’ function in the options menu, which you can access by tapping Esc on PC or the Menu button on the controller. Simply exit the game and it’ll save your progress up until that point.
