"Quick Resume is a feature that Microsoft introduced with its current generation of consoles. It lets you suspend a number of games simultaneously so they're running in the background even when the console is turned off. When you want to return to a game that supports Quick Resume, it'll drop you back in exactly where you left it within a few seconds, often even when it's been months since you last played that game."
"Over the years, players have discovered that Quick Resume isn't ideal for every title, particularly always-online games. When you take these out of their suspended state, they'll often shout at you for letting them disconnect, forcing you to manually close the game down properly and then relaunch it. Other games just don't seem to get on with it for a variety of other reasons."
"The latest Xbox update finally addresses this, letting you turn off the feature on a game-by-game basis by selecting "More Options" and then "Manage Quick Resume" on a game tile. That way you can ensure it's only enabled for single-player titles in which the ability to instantly pick up where you left off is very appealing."
Microsoft has released an update for Xbox Series X|S consoles allowing players to disable Quick Resume on a per-game basis. Quick Resume suspends multiple games simultaneously, enabling instant resumption from where players left off, even after months of inactivity. However, always-online games often malfunction when resumed from suspension, requiring manual closure and restart. The new update lets users toggle Quick Resume off through the "More Options" and "Manage Quick Resume" menu on game tiles, ensuring the feature remains enabled only for single-player titles where it provides optimal benefits. This change addresses a long-standing community request.
