The game will also automatically retain your progress when you complete missions or reach certain mission checkpoints. You'll know the game is autosaving when you see the same series of dots appear at the top of the screen. On the other hand, Far Cry 5's autosave is mostly random. The only indication that your game is actually saving is a series of dots in the top right-hand corner of the screen, so be on the lookout for those to make sure you're safe. Hover over 'Save Game' and click that box - your progress will save right then and there. However, to manually save your game in Far Cry 5, open the options menu and look for 'Save Game,' which you can find just above 'Quit' near the end of the list on the left-hand side of the screen.
