load game

Continue saved session

Load game is a command in video games that retrieves a previously saved state, restoring your progress from an earlier point.

The opposite of save game.

Players load games to resume after quitting, retry difficult sections, or undo mistakes: I died again—time to load game.

Sometimes shortened to just load.
