Monster Hunter Riseallows players to go on hunts to take down some pretty ferocious beasts, wyverns, and even dragons. The series is known for having quests that can sometimes take players up to 50 minutes to fully complete, which is a very long time. For players out there that worry about losing their precious save data and having to start missions over again can use this guide to learn how to save their game inMonster Hunter Rise. It’s crucial to know how it all works because losing progress is not fun for anyone.

The first thing about saving thatMonster Hunter Riseplayersshould know about is that the game features autosaving and when it does, players will spot a green owl in the bottom right corner of the screen. The game will typically autosave once a quest has been completed or if players change the settings in the options menu. The game will also autosave if players upgrade their armor/equipment or forge a piece of equipment. As long as players have the autosave function on, losing any progress shouldn’t be too much of a concern.

IfMonster Hunter Riseplayers prefer to turn autosaving off and save their game the old-fashioned way, they can do so by opening up the menu with the + button and then sliding over to the options in the System section. From here, go to Save Date, and the option to turn off autosaving will be right in there. And if players would like to save their game manually, they can do that in the System section and then going over to the Save option –simple as that.

While players can certainlypause the gamewhile playing one of the single-player hunts, it is impossible to save the game during a quest. It doesn’t matter if players are playing solo or multiplayer, a quest will need to be finished or abandoned before the game data can be saved in the menu. Saving can only be done manually while in Kamura Village.
