If you're searching for a save button in Expedition 33, stop now—you’re only wasting your time (and probably getting more frustrated). This game decided you don’t need manual saves, because apparently living on the edge is part of the experience.

Here’s how saving actually works before you start blaming yourself.

How Does Saving Work in Expedition 33?

There’s no manual save option in Expedition 33. None. Zero. But don’t panic—the game autosaves after nearly every action. If you’re finishing a battle, buying an item, or just backing out of a menu, the autosave is quietly doing its thing in the background a lot of the time.

It also keeps track of your last 20 autosaves, so if you mess up (and you will), you won’t be thrown too far back. Worst case? You replay a few minutes—not hours.

Can You Control Your Saves?

Nope. You can’t create a "just in case" save before a tough boss or bad decision. The game decides when to save, and you get to live with it. But honestly, the autosave is generous enough that you probably won’t miss manual saves—unless you’re really into second-guessing yourself.

Final Blurb

In Expedition 33, saving is something you let happen, not something you do. The game’s basically saying, "Relax, I got this." So trust the autosave, embrace the chaos, and remember—if things go horribly wrong, you’ve got 20 backup saves waiting to bail you out.
