But once it’s gone, you can quit the mission or turn off your device without having to think again about losing your progress from that point.

The autosave feature saves Battlefield 5 progress on the EA Games server. The EA game server has a direct link to your account. Therefore, if you uninstall Battlefield 5 and reinstall it, all of your saved items will show up on your device when you log in to your account again.
