Unlock the Secrets to Wealth in GTA 5 & GTA Online

This guide details how to save your progress in Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) Story Mode and GTA Online. Both games feature autosaves, indicated by a rotating orange circle in the bottom-right corner, but manual saving is also possible.

GTA 5 Story Mode Saving:

There are two primary methods for manual saving in GTA 5's Story Mode:

1. Sleeping at a Safehouse:

• Locate a Safehouse (marked by a white house icon on the map).
• Approach your protagonist's bed.
• Press 'E' (keyboard) or the Right D-Pad button (controller) to sleep and trigger the save game menu.

2. Using the Cell Phone:

• Open your cell phone (Up arrow key on keyboard or Up on controller's D-pad).
• Select the cloud icon to access the Save Game menu.
• Confirm the save.

GTA Online Saving:

GTA Online doesn't have a dedicated manual save menu. However, you can force autosaves using these methods:

1. Changing Outfits/Accessories:

• Open the Interaction Menu (M key on keyboard or touchpad on controller).
• Select "Appearance," then "Accessories."
• Change any accessory, or switch your outfit entirely.
• Exit the Interaction Menu. Watch for the orange autosave circle. Repeat if necessary.

2. Accessing the Swap Character Menu:

• Open the Pause Menu (Esc key on keyboard or Start button on controller).
• Go to the "Online" tab.
• Select "Swap Character." You don't need to actually swap characters; accessing the menu triggers an autosave.

Remember to regularly utilize these methods to prevent loss of progress in both GTA 5 Story Mode and GTA Online. The autosave feature is helpful, but manual saves provide an extra layer of security.
