Basic Information

Bloodborne uses an auto-save feature that automatically save progress at set intervals. While saving, and auto-save icon appears in the upper right corner of the screen. Auto-saving overwrites previous data. Bloodborne does not allow manual saves. Any time something happens, the game will auto-save. The game will also periodically auto-save even when nothing is going on. This means that if you fight through a difficult level and lose against the boss, you can't just load a save file at the boss. You'll need to play through the level again. The game also cannot be paused, but you can quit via the menu at any time, and doing so will save your progress. When you load your game, your character will be in the same spot as it was when you quit. The exception to this rule is boss fights. If you quit in a boss fight, you'll be placed outside the boss's room and the boss will be fully healed Of course, any healing items that you used before you quit will be gone. There is little to be gained by quitting mid-fight against a boss unless you want to fight the boss again from full health. You may be tempted to bypass the game's auto-save feature by turning off the console or exiting without using the in-game menus; that is a bad idea. Although rare, there is a chance that your save file will be corrupted. If that happens, your character and all the work you put into it is gone. Always quit from the menu.
