Game Autosaves at Regular Intervals

AC Shadows also has an autosave function. Every few minutes, an icon will pop up on the bottom right corner of the screen, indicating that an autosave is being created. You will have a max of five autosaves, with each following save overwriting the earliest autosave.

What is the Max Number of Manual Saves?

Maximum of 20 Manual Saves

Assassin's Creed Shadows will only have a maximum of 20 manual saves and 5 autosaves. Since the game will feature dialogue choices that affect the story, keep in mind that it will be difficult to save scum to get your desired results.

It is recommended that you either play in Canon mode if you don't want to miss out on story content, or keep a manual save before starting a quest chain so that you can reload should things go awry.
