Loading save files

To save the game in Saros and understand the autosave feature is something that you'll need to have a firm ground on from the start, as the game throws a sudden explanation at you as it starts and then never reminds you about how the save system works from that point on, leading to potential confusion. If you need help, I'll explain how saving in Saros works, as well as how to access and load different save files in-game.

How to save your progress in Saros with Autosave

There is no way to manually save the game in Saros, instead the game has regular auto-save that is constantly on in the background. The game saves after pretty much every action you take, locking you into choices almost immediately. Every room of enemies or puzzles you clear is saved after completing it.

With that in mind, you can feel safe to quit Saros at any point knowing that your progress will be saved, but if you want to be sure, make it to the next room or location to really confirm that you're locked in.

How to load save files

You can't reload previous auto-saves in Saros, but you are given three different save slots, so you can have multiple stories in Saros saved on the same PS5 file. To alternate between them, pause the game while in the Passage hub zone and choose the "Game Slots" option.

He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.
