In a game that is as big as Starfield with numerous planets to explore, not having a Quicksave option can be traumatizing. Imagine venturing on a quest that tasks you to travel from one system to another, and you have to wait for the autosave loading screen to appear so you can be sure that something important won’t be lost. Luckily, Starfield does have Quicksave and it is rather easily accessible. Follow these simple steps to Quicksave in Starfield:
- Open the Menu
- Once in the Menu, you need to press the Menu button again.
- This will take you to the System Menu.
- Navigate to the Quicksave option.
- Click it and your game will load from your last Quicksave.
Additionally, there is a quicksave button for all of those playing on PC. If you want to Quicksave your game in Starfield, all you need to do is press F5. This is the default key.
