How to save in Grand Theft Auto 3 – Definitive Edition

Grand Theft Auto 3 finally hitting modern consoles in the Definitive Edition remaster allows players to revisit this classic series. Because this is an older title, players might not be accustomed to the game's peculiar ways to introduce some mechanics, like saving. Unlike recent entries, players cannot save on the fly and must adhere to specific rules to document their progress.

To save in GTA 3, players must return to their home base and walk inside the front door to initiate a save. Players cannot save while doing a mission, so it's essential to stop between tasks and return home and create a manual save. Players have several save slots that they can choose from, so feel free to make multiple saves.

A purple house on the map marks the home base, so make your way to this location and chronicle the progress you've made thus far by entering as often as possible.
