Glossary Entry: Quicksave

Definition

Unlike normal saved games, quicksaves are fast, throwaway saves that players can use to manually create a checkpoint. Players can usually create and load quicksaves by pressing specific keys.

On a side note, quicksaves shouldn't be used to record your progress; a game may discard quicksaves between sessions.
