Saving your progress is vital in every video game. Unless you play a video game non-stop, you won’t be able to finish one without saving. That is, provided that there won’t be any power interruptions.

When saving is manual in a video game, you can choose whether to save your progress or not. If whatever is going on is to your liking, you can save your game.

However, if it’s not, then you can just choose to go back to your last saved data to revert whatever bad options you did, and you can return better and wiser.

In ARK: Survival Evolved, there are several reasons for you to save the game. You won’t only want to save your progress, but you will also want to keep characters and server backups.
