Animal Crossing: New Leaf Guide › How to Play

Saving Your Game

Saving your game is important. If you forget to save, all of your hard work and achievements will be lost! To save your game, press either the Start or Select button, then choose to either “Save and Continue” (if you wish to keep playing), or “Save and Quit” (if you’re done playing for now). After a brief moment, all of your progress will be saved.

Note

You’re unable to save during the game’s opening moments. After you make a bit of progress, you’ll unlock the ability to save whenever you like.

Animal Crossing runs in real-time, so time passes in the game even when you aren’t playing. See following “Time of Day” section for more information.
