What is QUICK RESUME on Xbox Series X?

As part of our Xbox Series X deep dives, we’re looking into the new features coming to the next generation Xbox console in Holiday 2020. This week, we’re looking at Quick Resume and how that’s going to make things so much… Quick-er.

This is great to have. Imagine playing a game and not being able to beat the level so you just switch games and go back later.

I like how the new Xbox completely ended the console war lol. Not even Sony fans are happy with the new PlayStation. Great job Microsoft!

Yeah it could be, I was playing a game and my cousin ask me to jumn in on Warzone with him, which I had to close my other game to join him in warzone. So being able switch between games should be real nice

Most months I be playing about 6-8 games on average so its much appreciated.

Does this quick resume feature work between games on disc?

[NateTheToast]

I have 1 simple question about Quick resume, is does this affect performance at all. As cool as this feature as this is I would rather have the overall performance of a single game, even if that means I have to wait for a longer wait time between games.

Quick resume is a great feature. It was nice on the xbox one, when it worked. But that was not always the case, I sometimes check netflix or music while queuing for a game, but its annoying switching to an app then back to a game and it reboots the game from the title screen

[AnimichileTV]

Its like the suspence function of my nintendo switch. I love it

[repobirdies]

Halo infinite, Cyberpunk, Hellblade 2

So if it took 6 ½ seconds for Back-Compact games to resume, does that mean titles designed and optimised for Series X (especially 1st party games) might resume quicker than the 6½ seconds?🤔

[Mithrie]

Looks cool. Though I try not to jump between games too often though it will be nice to have.

[Valentine-cnii]

I remember when this feature first came out for the Xbox one you were supposed to be able to start a multiplayer match and go do somethingand it would notify you when your multiplayer match was ready nice to see it brought back

[mattarson]

But digital games would benefit from this most right? So you dont have to keep swapping discs?

[bassfamily]

Seems like quick resume might be just as fast as ps5 SSD

[delivrex]

what about switching between apps and games?

[Timoto]

I still don't understand who starts playing a game, gets halfway through a mission/race and then changes game?

[dondurham]

You left out the most important part, what buttons do you press on your controller to initiate this miracle!!!
