How to Save Metroid Prime 4

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond allows you to save your game progress by using Save Stations scattered around the map. Learn how to save your progress, make a Manual Save, and copy save files here!

List of Contents

How to Save Your Progress

Find Save Stations Around the Map

To save your progress, find Save Stations scattered around the map. The Save Stations are usually found inside a room, but some are hidden behind sealed doors that can be unlocked with Samus's psychic abilities.

Besides saving your progress, using a Save Station also replenishes Samus's health and ammo.

The Game Will Sometimes Autosave

Autosaves

While most of your saves are done manually via the Save Stations, Metroid Prime 4 does have autosaves at certain points, such as when returning to Sol Valley from Flare Pool.

Make a Manual Save in the Main Menu

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond - How to Copy Save Files

Aside from saving your progress while playing the game, you can create what is called a Manual Save file in the main menu. Make a copy of an existing save file to return to a certain point in the game.

Why Should You Make a Manual Save?

Recommended to Manual Save before the Point of No Return

Point of No Return Prompt

To avoid being soft-locked in the endgame, it is recommended to copy a save file before you get asked the prompt, Order Troopers to Move Forward?. This is considered the point-of-no-return and will lock you into the end game with no access to backtracking.

Multiple Manual Save files are recommended to complete the game to 100%. Once you proceed with the end-game prompt and complete the game, the Save File cannot be used anymore as it will be labeled Mission Complete.

How to Copy Save Files

Copy the File in the Game Menu

Open Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and head to the game menu. Then, click Play to see all save files. Next, select a save file and press the X button to copy. Finally, duplicate it onto another slot and use the second save file to return to the game state it's in when you last saved it.
