Can you save in Far Cry 6?

However, from my experience, this doesn’t always appear to be entirely accurate. There have been moments where I’ve quit immediately after an autosave icon appears and disappears, and reloaded to find I’ve been sent back in time to another autosave location instead. It seems like the autosaving is most temperamental when you’re in the middle of a mission, so I’d strongly recommend you only quit after finishing a mission that you’re in the middle of completing.

One thing which seems to consistently prompt an accurate autosave is fast-travelling to a location. Doing this will always autosave your game, so if you’re concerned about losing your progress I’d recommend using fast travel.
