Microsoft has released a new Xbox update that adds a bunch of new features, including the ability to disable Quick Resume for individual games.
Quick Resume, which lets you swap between your games with minimal wait time, is one of the best features on the Xbox Series X / S consoles. But it can also run into unexpected issues with multiplayer games or titles that require a constant internet connection. “We’ve heard your feedback around performance after long periods of inactivity or with games that rely heavily on online connections,” Microsoft says.
With Thursday’s update, Microsoft also lets you make up to ten groups on their Home screen (instead of just two), set custom colors in the UI, and more easily see your play history. On the PC side, you can now use your gamepad as a mouse and pin as many as three games to the “Jump back in” and “Most Recent” lists. Microsoft is also starting to test its DLSS competitor, Auto SR, on the Xbox Ally X handheld.
New Xbox boss Asha Sharma has pushed for engineering teams to work on highly requested features like disabling Quick Resume and the custom colors, my colleague Tom Warren has reported. Sharma has also cut the price of Game Pass and scrapped the Microsoft Gaming branding in favor of Xbox.
