How to make a Save & Load System work across Multiple Scenes in Unity | Tutorial

Video Description

In this video, I show how to make a Save & Load system work across multiple scenes in Unity. The tutorial demonstrates this by adding a main menu scene and allowing the player to start a new game or continue a saved game.
