The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S boast a fantastic new feature in the form of Quick Resume, which allows you to switch between multiple titles near-instantly without having to suffer through load times, but some games aren't utilising this feature correctly at the launch of the two new consoles.
Microsoft is aware of this, and says that thousands of games are already making use of Quick Resume, but others have been disabled while it works on a fix for issues with those games. In other words, sit tight!
In addition to this, Microsoft has published a list of "known issues" with the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S at launch which includes the Quick Resume feature, so if you're having any problems with TV settings, apps or anything else, we highly advise looking through this list to see if it's an officially recognised bug.
How have you been getting on with Quick Resume? Let us know in the comments below.

Shall try it soon, just got my series x delivered
And updating UK.
That is one well built pin drop silent console.
Like the new controller size and texture feel as well.
Do we have a list of the games that can't QR?
@Reverandjames I’ve had the same issue, at least I now know why
Sad this wasn’t ready at launch. I’m switching between Yakuza and Dirt 5, and it’s be nice to have quick resume for those games!
Quick resume worked for me on Horizon 4 yesterday evening but the game was stuttering periodically and after about 10 minutes booted me to the dashboard. It loads so quickly though, even from scratch!!!
Yeah I've noticed a few games it doesn't seem to work on. I feel like there needs to be a better way of showing which games are currently suspended as well.
It's a great feature but it definitely needs a bit of work
@Tharsman Unfortunately not.
I've had no issues with Quick Resume so far. I've played FH4, Blair Witch and Battlefield: Hardline. Loving Quick Resume. To me it's one of the best features of XSX 👍
Two games I noticed it wasn't working with were Mirror's Edge and Red Dead Redemption 1, but shrug
@VenomousAlbino I've also had some occasional stuttering with Quick Resume though re-loading fixed it.
Seems to be fine for the majority of games, but yeah, I'm spoiled by the feature now and it sticks out to me already when it's not working.
One thing I really hope they add is a way to see if a game supports QR before launching it. And/or which games are currently suspended for QR. it can be frustrating when you expect it to work and a game doesn't work with it. Sekiro for example, does not. And you still get that warning that you didn'g choose "quit game" the last time you played.
@themightyant yeah, that fixed it for me as well. To be honest, until Quick Resume is fixed, I'm perfectly happy not using it. Everything loads so quickly that personally I'll live without it for the time being.
