How to save your game in Final Fantasy 16?

Saving the game is a very simple task in Final Fantasy 16. Here are the steps you need to follow in order to save your game at any point in time:

  • Open the pause menu of Final Fantasy XVI
  • Navigate to the System tab by tapping R2 on your PS5 controller
  • The Save option will be present right at the top under the System tab
  • Tap Save and then on “Create Saved File Data”

As soon as you tap that, the game will be saved and it will show up with the name of the mission, your current character level, and the current date and time. You can access this save at a later point through the same Save menu under the System tab.

Remember that the game also has an Autosave feature that triggers after you clear a particular checkpoint or finish a mission. Hence, all the Autosaves will also show up under the Save section alongside your manual saves.
