How saving worked in GTA V
GTA V saved your game in three ways. It autosaved after missions, you could save manually by sleeping in a safehouse bed, and you could quick-save from the in-game phone.
Because the new game also has a phone and homes for Jason and Lucia, a similar mix is likely. However, Rockstar has not confirmed it, so treat this as a guide to what to look for, not a promise.

Pro Tip
Once you know how to save, make a manual save before you try cheats. In GTA V, cheats blocked trophies while active, so see our cheats page and the trophies list first.
FAQ
Will my save carry over to the PC version?
Rockstar has not announced a PC version, so nothing is known about transfers. Read the latest in our PC release report.
Can I lose my progress?
Keeping more than one save is a good habit in any big open-world game. We will confirm how many slots you get from launch day.
Does the game save during missions?
GTA V used checkpoints inside missions, so a failed attempt restarted near where you fell. We will check how checkpoints work in the new game.
