Coral Island: How to Save Your Game

May 2024 · 3 minute read

If you tried to save your game manually in Coral Island and didn’t find a way, you’re in the right place.

Surprisingly, it isn’t clear how to save your progress in Coral Island and many players are left confused.

Another thing that isn’t exactly clear, due to the game being in early access, is how to play it with a controller. However, it’s totally possible, whether you’re on Steam or on Xbox Game Pass.

In this guide, I will explain how the saving system works in Coral Island and help you save your game and progress.

How to Save the Game

To save your game in Coral Island, all you have to do is go to sleep. This will end the current day, reset your energy, award you money for any items sold, and save the game.

After you see the ‘Game Saved’ message, you are free to close the game. The next time you launch Coral Island, you will start from the beginning of the next day.

This means that players have to plan their sessions based on in-game days. If the day is ending, they should consider if they’re going to end the session there or play through another full day.

Is There Another Way to Manually Save?

Unfortunately, no. There is no way of saving the game in Coral Island other than sleeping and ending the day. If you decide that you have to go, you’ll have to end the day by sleeping.

Thankfully, there are no limitations on when you can sleep. If you want, you can even go to sleep again right after waking up. This is also a great way to skip certain uneventful days if you’re waiting for a specific character’s birthday or a certain festival.

While you are wasting energy by doing that, if you have to leave at any point you have two choices: either leave the game without sleeping which will reset you to the previous day, or sleep and leave then which will move you on to the next day.

Keep in mind that leaving the game without sleeping isn’t always a bad idea. If you made a misclick and bought more seeds than you wanted to, or sold a rare item that was needed for the lake temple, resetting the day is one of the best tips in the game.

Conclusion

To sum up, this is how to save your game in Coral Island. The only way to save is by going to sleep and moving on to the next day.

While this isn’t ideal, since at times you’ll want to save during the middle of the day, at least you are free to go to sleep and save whenever you want. It’s never too early in the day.
