You have to go all the way to the menu, then click Save, then either overwrite a save or select a new save slot. It isn’t an entire essay’s worth of work, mind you, but it can be time-consuming nonetheless. Thankfully, there’s a way to speed the process up. Here’s how to Quicksave and Quickload your game in Starfield.

How to Save and Load Your Game Quickly in Starfield

To Quicksave and Quickload in Starfield, you’ll want to press the F5 and F9 keys on your keyboard, respectively.

This will be overwritten whenever you press the Quicksave key again, so be sure you don’t need that Quicksave again when you do. Once you’re ready to load back to that quicksave, press the Quickload key, and you’ll be back where you need to be. Alternatively, a Quicksave option can be found in the menu.
