How Do I Save My Game in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Essentially, there are two different methods of saving your game:

1. Manual Save – Head into the menu by pressing the ‘Options’ button and select the ‘Save / Load’ option. From here, you can choose a specific Save or Load slot. Alternatively, when you’re in the menu, you can press the Triangle button as a quick shortcut to get to these Save slots.
2. Auto Save – This automatically saves your progress after battles, when there’s a cutscene, or when you move from a town to the world map.

It’s worth mentioning that you can save at any time except during a cutscene or while in a combat encounter.

Do note that saved data is only backed up to the cloud when your progress is saved at the main menu.
