Xbox Quick Resume Update: Per-Game Disabling Now Available

Xbox has rolled out a highly anticipated update, giving users the ability to disable the Quick Resume feature for specific games. This new option directly addresses a persistent issue many players have encountered, particularly with online titles, where Quick Resume could sometimes lead to connectivity problems or other inconveniences.

Quick Resume is widely recognized as one of the most popular and convenient features on Xbox Series X and S consoles, allowing players to jump back into multiple games almost instantly from where they left off. However, its ‘always-on’ nature for every game occasionally created friction, especially for those wanting a clean restart or avoiding potential glitches in live-service games.

With this update, players now have greater control, enabling them to enjoy the benefits of Quick Resume for single-player experiences while opting out for games where it might be more of a hindrance than a help.
