how to save game levels on ps4

952 Posts
Hi
sorry but I don't know how to do this and my son is asking.
basically, how do we save levels we have completed on his ps4? every time he turns the ps4 off at the mains and back on he has to start the game all over again and complete the levels hes already done?
I remember on the ps2 there was an auto save feature and the game was saved on a memory card.
is there a setting I can check? the games he has are fifa 16 and lego marvels superhero which is what hes playing at the moment .
Thanks

It might say to not turn it of whilst a certain logo is displayed. Depends on the game though, maybe say what the game/s are and maybe someone will advise further. I don't have a PS4 but I have an Xbox One and what Ive just posted is what I have to look out for.
Well Fifa 16 I save it manually (im sure its set to auto save)
Use Google to see how you do it.

For example for Lego Marvel Super Heroes one of the walkthroughs there contains the following.....
Q: Can I save in the middle of a Story Mission?
A: Yes! At several points throughout missions, there are things called "Save Switches", which will save your progress within the mission, allowing you to quit and return to that spot. The important thing to remember is that to return to that spot, you must resume the mission by going to its starting location in Manhattan
Hope you're using the PS button to exit the game/ shut down the PS4 properly before hitting the power button at the back! Most games will automatically save (display some kind of symbol on screen whilst doing so) at various 'checkpoints' throughout the game (start of a level) or have a 'quicksave' option on the start button

=======================
Is there an option to save yourself on the game rather than rely on an auto save? And as had been said always make sure the machine is turned off properly.

Turning the PS4 on and off from the PS4 controller is what people do
Does it happen with all games? If yes then it must be a setting on the console. I haven't got a ps4 yet so don't know about that. You can access the full manual online though.
