Microsoft has rolled out an Xbox update allowing players to disable Quick Resume on individual titles. The feature can now be toggled on or off for specific games.

Quick Resume, a flagship feature of Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, enables rapid switching between multiple games with minimal loading time. However, the feature can cause performance issues with certain titles, particularly multiplayer games and those requiring constant internet connectivity. The new update addresses these problems by letting players choose which games use Quick Resume. This granular control prevents potential conflicts while preserving the feature's benefits for compatible titles. The update also includes additional features across Xbox consoles and the Xbox PC app. Microsoft developed these changes based on user feedback regarding performance degradation after extended periods of inactivity. The option is now available to Xbox users through the latest system update.
