How to save your game in New World
Fortunately, you don’t need to do anything to save your game in New World. All of your progress is saved automatically on the server, so you don’t need to worry about saving your game. When you’re ready to stop playing, simply log out and exit to your desktop.
To make sure that it really does save everything, I threw some fiber and wood together to make a quick fishing pole, ran into a random corner, and rushed to log out of the server. After, I logged back into the same server to check where I would spawn. When I loaded in, my character was in the exact same corner. I hadn’t been warped back to the nearest settlement or put on a nearby path - I was in the exact same place. Hopefully, that gives you some confidence that you won’t lose any progress when you decide to log out.
