quicksave
Mid-game snapshot save
Quicksave is a video game feature that saves your progress instantly with a single keystroke, without navigating menus or reaching a checkpoint.
The term works as both noun and verb: I forgot to quicksave before the boss fight.
Quicksaves let players experiment freely, retrying risky moves or dialogue choices with minimal penalty.
