Save manually in RDR 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 has autosave enabled by default.

If you want, you can save manually at any time and it works like this.
- Open the pause menu and select the “Game” sub-item.
- Here you can now select “Save Game” and a storage location for the saved game in order to manually save your progress.
You can also load another save game using the “Game” sub-item.
