How to save your game in Tales of Arise
Whenever you aren't in battle, press the start button on Xbox controllers, or the trackpad button on PS4 and PS5 controllers to open the menu. After that, you can save or load your in-game progress by accessing the System section, which is located at the far right of the main menu.
Moreover, there is also an autosave in Tales of Arise. The game will automatically save during your exploration of Dahna, most notably after every cutscene. You can see whenever it triggers as a notification will appear at the top left of the screen. If you end up turning off your console or PC without saving, be sure to check the latest autosave, it'll have your back.
Tales of Arise is out now on PC (Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
