Xbox Is Finally Letting Players Disable Quick Resume for Individual Games

Microsoft is introducing a much requested system update for Xbox Series X and S consoles, allowing players to disable Quick Resume for specific online games that struggle with the feature.

Microsoft is rolling out a new system update that addresses one of the most persistent minor annoyances on the Xbox Series X and S. According to a recent report by IGN South Africa, players will soon have the ability to disable the Quick Resume feature for specific games. While the feature is a massive convenience for single player titles, letting you jump right back into action after turning on your console, it has always been a headache for online multiplayer games that lose server connection in the background.

For years, launching an online service game only to find yourself sitting on a broken menu screen or staring at a disconnect error has been part of the daily routine for Xbox owners. This update finally gives us granular control over how the feature behaves on a title by title basis. Instead of manually quitting out of a live service game every single time you finish a session, you can set the console to launch the game fresh every time.

Quality of life updates like this often matter just as much as major hardware announcements for modern cross platform players who juggle multiple live service titles alongside single player adventures. By listening to community feedback and smoothing out these platform friction points, Microsoft is making the day to day experience of using the console just a bit more seamless.
