As the game is available on different consoles including PC and Nintendo Switch, the game mechanics vary. This includes key bindings and accessibility features. One of the most important questions players want answered about these variations is, how to save Palia on Switch. Well, here is our complete guide on exactly how to do that.
How to Save Palia on Switch
Good news for players all over the world, you don’t actually need to manually save your progress in the game. There is no manual saving option in the game that you can use. Yes, that’s right, this means that the game has an auto-saving feature that saves your progress automatically every time you quit the game. As it is an online game, it is pretty normal that there is an auto-save feature for the story progression in the game.
The game auto-saves solely because of the fact that it is an online multiplayer and mostly because everything is server-based and controlled. For this reason, you do not need to worry about losing progress every time you want to quit the game on your Nintendo Switch. However, when it comes to understanding how to save Palia on Switch, there are a few things you need to do to ensure you don’t lose progress.
First and foremost, you need to link your Palia account to your game on your Switch to ensure that the story progression is being properly saved on the servers you’re playing on and also to ensure that you won’t lose any data if you do choose to uninstall the game. Other than that, there’s not much you need to do.
One thing you do need to keep in mind is that, even though the game will save your progress automatically because of the auto-save feature, your Switch will still give you a warning every time you try to quit the game without “saving.” Therefore, every time you go to quit the game, just ignore the warning dialog box that pops up saying “You’ll lose your unsaved progress, are you sure you want to quit the game?” and quit the game. Rest assured that your story progression will be saved and the next time you boot the game back up, it will be exactly where you left off.
How to Save Palia on PC
Just like the Switch version of Palia, there is no manual saving option in the game that you can use on a PC either. Hence, when it comes to saving the game, the game will use its auto-saving feature to save your progress automatically every time you quit the game. Unlike the Switch, you will get no warning dialog box that pops up that tells you quitting might not be the best option and you can just quit the game directly.
However, same as the Switch, you need to link your Palia account to your game on your PC to ensure that the story progression is being properly saved on the servers you’re playing on. This will also ensure that you won’t lose any data even if you do choose to uninstall the game and let you carry your progression over from one console to another, in this case, PC to Switch or Switch to PC.
Linking your Palia account is as easy as inputting the e-mail associated with your account and that will log you right in to the game. Just go to the main screen, find the “Link Account” option and connect your Palia account to carry your progression over or start saving your story progression.
Needless to say, learning how to save Palia on Switch and/or PC is quite easy because you don’t even have to do it manually. The auto-saving feature is a blessing and honestly, it is perfect because Palia is an MMO game after all. Hence, mark your calendars and get ready for the full release of the game on March 25.
