Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a relaxing game that lets you build your own island paradise. However, creating an island takes a long time and it’s not entirely clear how to save the game (so you don’t lose all your hard work). This article will walk you through saving on ANCH and discuss the autosave feature.
Animal Crossing New Horizons: How to Save Your Game
If you’ve ever played ANCH, you’ve probably noticed that there are no settings to adjust and no obvious way to manually save your game. If that gives you goosebumps, we get it. But don’t panic just yet. There is a way to manually save your game, and it’s easier than you might think.
When you're ready to save your game, all you need to do is press the — (minus) button on your left controller. When you do, the game will prompt you with a message such as, "Are you ready to call it a day?" or "Ready to wrap things up for now?" Select Save and Quit or Yes to save and exit the game.
The next time you open your Animal Crossing game, you'll start back at your home and won't lose any progress. But there are a few things you should know about manually saving in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
