How Does Game Saving Work in Dead Island 2?

Dead Island 2 has a save system that saves your game automatically, like most video games nowadays. As usual, when your game state saves, you will get a notification in the corner of the screen. This happens from time to time, sometimes depending on what you are doing in-game, but the community is generally happy with the frequency of autosave.

However, the question of this article is if you can save your game manually in Dead Island 2, so let’s get back to that.

Can you Save Your Game Manually in Dead Island 2?

You probably remember saving the game every minute or so, just so that you don’t end up in trouble and lose some important progress in your game, and perhaps you accidentally quick saved just half a second before getting killed, locking yourself permanently. This is why I do not like quick saves personally, and I am guilty of stockpiling hundreds of save game files in my games because I double-save “just in case”. None of this is possible in Dead Island 2 at the moment, sadly.
