How do you save in Lethal Company in 2026?

Lethal Company does not offer manual saving. The game automatically saves your progress when you take off for orbit after a mission.

So it's impossible to resume right in the middle of an expedition on the moons.

How do you back up your game in Lethal Company?

No manual backup in Lethal Company : The game handles the recording on its own, but only under certain specific conditions.

When does Lethal Company save your progress?

The automatic backup is triggered when you confirm the routing to a new destination via the Terminal and where the spacecraft leaves the moon to return to orbit.

At that exact moment, the game records:

• Your your overall successes and failures on each mission.
• Each dead, which advances the timer by’one day in the relevant backup file.
• All the passive information Character: rank, quota scrap metal, accumulated money.

A few important rules to keep in mind:

• If the entire crew dies, the’host can do Alt+F4 to log out and start the day over, provided the group hasn't taken off yet (the save occurs upon returning to orbit, not at the moment of death).
• You have to bring back the scrap metal, sell it, and then head out into orbit so that your the money is kept.
• You can create up to three profiles different ones, each with its own backup file. Change profiles in the Options menu, under the Joueur.
• If you try to go back to the main menu While on a mission, the game warns you that your location and progress will not be saved.

When does Lethal Company fail to save your session?

The game saves your overall progress, but never your physical location in the world. Here are the situations in which no backup takes place:

• After the’moon landing If it is selected, nothing is saved.
• Your physical position around the world is never preserved.
• You can't save partway through and pick up where you left off. The game considers your character to be dead and that a new day begins.
• The backup is automatic: you can't do not specify manually When to record.

To verify this in practice, we ran a test by searching for Blind Dogs, by letting them chase us, then leaving before we died. The result was no surprise: it was impossible to pick up right where we left off.
