Yesterday we got word that a new Quick Resume feature was being rolled out to Xbox Preview Program members on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, which will enable users to see which games they currently have running via the system. To follow on, we now have an image of what that will look like, giving everyone outside of the program a taste before its full rollout to all Xbox Series users in the near future.
As shown by Xbox engineering lead, Eden Marie, the My Games & Apps portion of the dashboard will now have a Quick Resume section in the Groups section to show what's running. Not only that, but through the Xbox Guide, the My Games & Apps section will now have a Quick Resume tab alongside the pins and games sections.
You can even quickly remove a game from Quick Resume if you want to. This is something the community has been requesting ever since the consoles' launch this past November, so it's great to see it finally introduced.
We're not sure when this new feature will have a mass rollout, but hopefully it breezes through the preview builds fairly quickly. We've lost count of the amount of times we've booted up a game to find it still running through Quick Resume, so we're thankful this is finally on the way.
Are you happy to see a Quick Resume feature added? Let us know in the comments below.

Finally!
When it works, Quick Resume is probably the most next-gen feature for me so far in terms of console features.

Only a few weeks ago the community demanded this small UI feature and now they already implemented it.
@blinx01 yeah quick resume is so good and I didn’t expect anything of it. When I first got the console and was swapping between 3 or 4 games in seconds it won me over. Quality feature from Microsoft.
Brilliant! Love this feature but nice to have more control over it all!
@Senua they absolutely do, can't ask for anymore really
@Senua not only that they’re miles ahead of the competition, the other machine still feels unfinished in comparison.
