Microsoft is finally giving all Xbox owners the option to disable Quick Resume on a per-game basis. The feature was tested with Xbox Insiders in March, and now Microsoft is rolling it out with a collection of other new options for consoles and the Xbox PC app as part of its April Xbox update.
When the Xbox Series S and X launched, Quick Resume was one of the consoles’ flagship features. With Quick Resume, you can suspend one or more games and switch between them without losing progress, even after turning off your console. That works for most games, but if a game needs a consistent internet connection to run (like an MMO, for example), you’d often get bounced back to the main menu, have to wait for it to reconnect or be forced to restart if you tried to use Quick Resume. With the option to toggle Quick Resume off for those games, now you can avoid that five-car pileup of small annoyances.
