As a crafting game,Palworldoffers prospective monster hunters and builders a plethora of tasks to complete and goals to reach. It would be tragic to lose progress in a crash, which isn’t unusual for games in early access. DoesPalworlduse autosave for progress, and how can you tell?
The good news is, yes,Palworlddoes have an autosave function. Most modern games include this useful functionality, allowing you to play for hours on end without worrying over stopping and manually saving. It’s especially useful inPalworld, a game that allows you to invite and play with friends on a server. No one wants to stop in the middle of a dungeon run with their team to make sure thePaldium Fragmentsthey just harvested will get saved in their progress.
No, when things are going well, there should be zero concern over losing progress in the game. And that’s due toPalworldbeing actually a littletooaggressive with its autosave.
How to check if yourPalworldprogress is getting saved with autosave
Palworldslams on the autosave roughly every 20 to 30 seconds, based on my gameplay. And it will not wait for you to get out of combat. This does lead to slight hitches as the game lurches for a split second to save your progress. It’s not overly obnoxious, but it can lead to missed arrows or Pal Spheres.You can tell the game is autosaving by checking the top-right of your screen for the saving icon.
There are two options available if you want to save manually. The first option is to quit the game, which manually saves your progress, and reload your file. If you’re an admin ofa server, you can type ‘/Save’ and enter to manually save the server data.

If those options don’t work, you may just have to wait until the game gets patched. You cansend in a support ticketto developer Pocketpair directly as well. SincePalworldis in early access on both Steam and Game Pass, bugs and glitches are going to be common. Thankfully, the studio seems to be quick when it comes toaddressing issues. Hopefully, any bugs you’re dealing with now will be gone shortly.
