Great news for Xbox gamers: Microsoft now lets you choose which games use Quick Resume, giving you more control over your gaming experience. This change rolled out with the latest update, following a successful test run with Xbox Insiders in March.
Quick Resume is a neat feature that lets you hop between games without losing progress, but it’s not always perfect. For games that need a constant internet connection, like MMOs, this feature could cause annoying disruptions, forcing you to reconnect or restart. Now, you can toggle Quick Resume off for those pesky titles, saving you from frustration. Plus, Xbox is adding more goodies like custom color settings and an expanded number of game groups you can pin to your home screen.
Beyond the console, the Xbox PC app is getting some love too. Now, you can use any gamepad to move your mouse cursor and pin your favorite games. Plus, Microsoft is testing a new Automatic Super Resolution feature on ASUS ROG Xbox Ally handhelds, pushing the envelope in handheld gaming. This update is part of a broader strategy by Xbox’s new CEO Asha Sharma, who’s making waves with price cuts and other strategic moves to recommit to the Xbox brand.
Keep an eye out for more updates as Xbox continues to tweak and improve its services. If you’re a fan, these changes are definitely worth exploring!
