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 and how to find Save Stations in this guide.

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.

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 if you want to 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.

For 100% Game Completion

Mission Complete

Multiple Manual Save files are recommended to complete the game to 100% and get all the endings. 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.
