Hoping you can save the game as easily as you saved those civilians? You're in luck! In this brief guide, we'll go over how to save your game in Spider-Man 2.

The third Spider-Man game from Insomniac is full to the brim with side content, and while it's exciting the first time around, you might lose some enthusiasm if you have to keep grabbing the same collectables. The game does feature an autosave, but if you want to be extra-extra sure that your power levelling session is safe, you'll want to make a manual save.

Before we web-swing into the guide, you should be spidey sensing the potential for more knowledge. We can teach you how to change Miles and Peter's spidey suits, perform finishers on your enemies, and so much more if you visit our Spider-Man 2 walkthrough hub.

You may not notice or trust the game's constant autosaves, so you're in luck - the game features manual saves. To make a save this way, pause the game at any time and navigate down to 'Manual Save'. This will let you save your game, and the peace of mind should have you ready to launch back into the swing kicks and web throws that your enemies hate you for.

You'll follow a similar process if you plan on skipping cutscenes, and it's always worth making a save before every big supervillain battle just so you can pretend you did it first try - or to repeat certain parts of the fight while you try to snap the perfect picture with photo mode.

That's everything we can share about saving the game! While you're here, you'd benefit from learning about the game's stealth takedowns and learning about the city tokens that can help you unlock new suits.
