Pretty sure it does. Its just a mem dump of your game to the ssd.does the quick resume feature stay active even after fully turning off the xbox? or do you have to leave it in standby for it to stay active?

It's a great feature that I hope Microsoft will bring as a system feature to Windows 10. PC players have plenty of storage so there's potential to have many, many games suspended and available for fast resume.If quick resume was a feature of the PS5 everyone would love it instead of downplaying it
Just like many others in here, you seemingly don’t understand what quick resume is, which is baffling because it’s a simple thing.This is one of those “but why?” moments for me. What’s the point in having multiple games suspended all at once when they load in a matter of seconds now anyway?
You can do that on PS5, just like you could on PS4.

I got my Series X a day early, so I feel like I can answer this one. Games take a few seconds to load, sure... not including the splash screens, the logos, the menus. It all adds up, and quick resume bypasses all of it. For me, that would be good enough, but, where it really shines, is where multiple people are using the one console. I had to go take care of some work stuff, so I paused Forza 7 in the middle of a race, and my wife decided to play Untitled Goose Game. When I came back, she was finished and the console was turned off. From powered off, I was back into my race in less than 10 seconds, sitting on the pause screen, mid-lap, ready to go. Resuming mid-race isn't even an option on current gen, and just getting back into the game would've taken minutes on the Xbox One S. And this feature is at the OS level - every game, first or third party, supports it. That was a real next-gen moment. "Save and quit" is officially obsolete.This is one of those “but why?” moments for me.

It's now coming down a pretty pointless feature in the realms of consoles as the defining factor to buy an XSX?
These mother fucking new consoles have SSDs that reduce load times and lazy cunts can't be arsed to wait between closing a game and opening a new one?
Jesus christ.
I think the more important feature would be if your friend invites you to join a game you no longer have to find a save point in the game your currently playing. Pretty awesome in my book.
I don't know, I only play one game at a time. I can't see myself starting a game pausing in the middle to go to another game and minutes later come back. Each session of gaming for me is about one game.
Of course, that's just my preference.
you don’t get the point. This feature even works if you unplug the console itself!
It’s about switching games every minute, but having 4 games ready to play whenever, usually people play a few different games at times. Not everyone just plays a single games.
also, it’s great for people that share a console.

Is this confirmed? Not that I know but I imagine it has to save a snapshot and if you lose power that snapshot wouldn't get saved would it?Have you ever lost power in your house while you were gaming ? Because with quick resume , you can get right back to it .
These are numbers I've pulled from thin air, obviously.Definitely a good thing for certain people, it just doesn't make sense for, especially how fast these new consoles boot games. Less than 10 seconds from what we've seen.
I don’t understand how this is any different than what you can already do on PS4 (and I assume PS5) though? I can pause a game on my PS4, put it in rest mode, then come back in a matter of seconds to exactly where I was. That’s the same thing right?Just like many others in here, you seemingly don’t understand what quick resume is, which is baffling because it’s a simple thing.
Can you load a game in a couple of seconds? Sure. How does that help if you had to turn off the console while you were 3/4 through a boss fight and the last checkpoint was 15 mins ago? How does it help you if you were on the last lap of a 50 lap race when all of a sudden you had to turn the console off and then someone else started up another game?
It is though?Resuming mid-race isn't even an option on current gen
Is this confirmed? Not that I know but I imagine it has to save a snapshot and if you lose power that snapshot wouldn't get saved would it?
My guess is at best you would go back to the last snapshot you saved rather than the exact spot you lost power at, happy to be wrong though. Who's gonna be the first to pull the power while playing and test it? not me.
Good Luck! Report back please, I am interested to see what happens.From what I am understanding , that is how it works. I am going to try it out tomorrow lol

Why so angry?
It’s what you can do on the PS4, but instead of 1 game it’s with like 5 games at once, and it saves their state even if you completely shut the console off and even unplug it from the wall.I don’t understand how this is any different than what you can already do on PS4 (and I assume PS5) though?

Am I missing something?
Yes, I understand Quick Resume allows you to do this with a number of games which is a nice bonus but it’s hardly a dealbreaker. The fundamental functionality of “pausing your progress on the fly” is already a feature, and solves 99% of the issue IMO.
It is though?
It’s not going to work like that. When you take focus off the game it will do a ram dump to the hard drive. If the console loses power it can’t do this so you’ll lose it. It’s not constantly writing the RAM to the SSD.Have you ever lost power in your house while you were gaming ? Because with quick resume , you can get right back to it .
Ah ok, that makes sense, I was struggling to see what the difference was other than the number of games.It’s what you can do on the PS4, but instead of 1 game it’s with like 5 games at once, and it saves their state even if you completely shut the console off and even unplug it from the wall.
Its a mem dump.
You can even unplug the console collateral it to your drug dealer, get your fix, pass out, wake up in the morning realize your junky behavior just lost you a 500 dollar console, steal your girlfriends phone get back to you dealer, get the console back and another bump up.
Get home, plug the console back in and continue the game exactly where you were when you first needed to get your fix.
If this is correct then it's a top feature and if I ever get a xbox I will be using this feature constantly.
Pretty sure it does. Its just a mem dump of your game to the ssd.
This can be added later. What can’t be added later is actual fast travel, which quick resume won’t do anything to improve.
*cue people saying they never use fast travel anyway*
The quick resume is a cool feature and all, but who really plays 6 games at the same time? Also, couldn’t that feature be patched in later on the PS5?
Don't need to be 6 but 2. For example an open world and a graphic adventure (it's something I do). The possibility to switch between two without thinking on save points it's an amazing feature for me.
What are you on about mate?
A quick resume feature is handy for suspending a game and coming back later to it, but it won’t improve with fast travel loadings.
Although Quick Resume is a cool feature it's one that I'll never use. After watching the DF video on PS5 yesterday, how fast these games boot up on the SSD I don't even see a point to the feature, to be honest.
If this is correct then it's a top feature and if I ever get a xbox I will be using this feature constantly.
I was supposed to multi quote you in my previous reply. guess it didn't work
Sure but that's not exactly the point of that, or biggest feature, "quick save" is also important distinction.To be fair, PS5 booting will probably be just as fast as quick resume on XSX, with next gen optimized games.
Yes, it's dumping the entire ram to the hard drive. It's saving the exact state of 5 games, and you can pick up where you left off to the exact millisecond the next time you play even if you unplug the console from the wall.Ah ok, that makes sense, I was struggling to see what the difference was other than the number of games.
So it’s literally creating a save state, rather than just “staying paused” or whatever. Interesting...
This can only be added later if sony already reserved enough space on the SSD for 5x16gb RAM dumps. We know they reserved a lot already, but we don't know if they have dedicated almost 100gb of that to this feature.This can be added later. What can’t be added later is actual fast travel, which quick resume won’t do anything to improve.

Why would I be disappointed? Especially coming off of 30 seconds to even a minute long loading times from last gen.Life gets in the way. You might be a kid or at uni or something, but those of us with a family and lots of real world commitments don’t have the pleasure of just being able to play something until we are done.
also if you think that these cards are only gonna take second then loading the game the normal way is only gonna take seconds, cause it’s still loading the same thing. If you think that loading a card is gonna be significantly faster than just loading the game and clicking on multiplayer I think you’re going to be disappointed.
