The trouble comes when you&#8217;re in the midst of exploring a junction and have to take a break for one reason or another: Your only options are to pause the game for however long you need to be away and hope the power doesn&#8217;t go out and the cat doesn&#8217;t step on your PC&#8217;s power button, or abandon the run and give up some or all of the progress you&#8217;ve made and stuff you&#8217;ve collected.<\/p>\n<p>Runs through each junction typically don&#8217;t last more than 30 minutes so you&#8217;re not losing a huge chunk of playtime if you have to bail out, but because each junction is randomized upon entry, it can be frustrating when you&#8217;re in the middle of a really good run and have to walk away.<\/p>\n<p>Game director Seth Rosen <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/1458140\/view\/4113546234714112722\" target=\"_blank\">explained the thinking<\/a> behind Pacific Drive&#8217;s save system in February 2024 from both a design and technical perspective, saying a mid-run save system would be difficult to implement and detract from the tension that makes Pacific Drive so intense, and also committed to not changing it, saying, &#8220;This is a firm position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, that was then and this is now. More than a year after Pacific Drive&#8217;s release, the upcoming <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/1458140\/view\/496064890018988551\" target=\"_blank\">Endless Expeditions update<\/a> will add a new &#8220;Suspend Run&#8221; feature, &#8220;something that&#8217;s been requested heavily by the community,&#8221; giving players the ability to halt a run and quit the game in the midst of a junction, and then return without losing any progress.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a full-on manual save system, but I think it&#8217;s a perfectly fair compromise: A way to accommodate the demands of real life without surrendering any of the tension of Pacific Drive&#8217;s chaotic road trips. And really, it&#8217;s what an awful lot of players have been asking for\u2014not the ability to save-scum, which as Rosen said would suck the soul out of the game, but just a way to deal with the sort of &#8220;oh no the dog&#8217;s on fire again&#8221; types of crises that confront us all from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to halt the action mid-run without losing progress is obviously the highlight for me personally, but it&#8217;s just one of several big things coming in the update. The biggest, at least going by the name of the update, is the addition of &#8220;Expeditions,&#8221; described as &#8220;new continuous drives between multiple junctions,&#8221; with unique rewards and dangers that &#8220;will test even the most seasoned breacher.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New maps, spawning systems, tools, &#8220;and so much more&#8221; are also coming, along with new cosmetics for your garage, more than an hour of new radio music\u2014this is a big deal in its own right, because the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2790060\/Pacific_Drive_Official_Game_Soundtrack\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pacific Drive soundtrack<\/a> is absolutely <em>primo<\/em>\u2014and more weird, occasionally very creepy lore delivered via the fax machine. Developer Ironwood Studios says this is the largest Pacific Drive update yet, and after months away it may just be enough to put me behind the wheel again.<\/p>\n<p>Pacific Drive&#8217;s Endless Expeditions spring update is set to go live on April 3, which I expect is when we&#8217;ll be able to lay eyes on the full patch notes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"9c60abe9-7da3-42b2-bfd7-4ec6dbe52ceb\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best MMOs\" data-dimension48=\"Best MMOs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:316px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"UjCJY9gjRfatHZjCuGMrhR\" name=\"elden ring square cheer.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pacific-drive-developers-change-their-mind-a-year-after-refusing-to-give-it-mid-run-saves-its-getting-mid-run-saves.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"316\" height=\"316\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-mmos\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"9c60abe9-7da3-42b2-bfd7-4ec6dbe52ceb\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best MMOs\" data-dimension48=\"Best MMOs\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Best MMOs<\/strong><\/a>: Most massive<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-strategy-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best strategy games<\/strong><\/a>: Number crunching<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-open-world-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best open world games<\/strong><\/a>: Unlimited exploration<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-survival-games-on-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best survival games<\/strong><\/a>: Live craft love<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-horror-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best horror games<\/strong><\/a>: Fight or flight<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/pacific-drive-developers-change-their-mind-a-year-after-refusing-to-give-it-mid-run-saves-its-getting-mid-run-saves\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like Pacific Drive an awful lot\u201487 hours into it so far, so says Steam\u2014but there&#8217;s one thing about it that&#8217;s always kind of irritated me: The lack of a mid-run save feature.
