Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) and GTA Online utilize autosave functionality, automatically recording your progress. However, knowing the exact autosave timing can be tricky. To prevent data loss, manual saves and forced autosaves are recommended. This guide details how to save in both GTA 5 Story Mode and GTA Online.
A rotating orange circle in the bottom-right corner indicates an active autosave. While easily missed, its presence confirms progress preservation.

By employing these methods, you can ensure your progress is regularly saved in both GTA 5 Story Mode and GTA Online, minimizing the risk of losing gameplay.
