quicksaves

Fast game snapshots

Quicksaves are saved game states created with a single keystroke, allowing players to preserve progress instantly without navigating menus.

The feature encourages experimentation—try a risky move, fail, reload the quicksave.

I quicksave before every boss fight.

Some games limit quicksaves to increase difficulty or tension.

The verb quicksave follows naturally: Quicksave before you talk to him—that dialogue choice matters.
