Microsoft's next-generation consoles the Xbox Series S and X are getting an improved "Quick Resume" feature in the next system update.

The Quick Resume feature allows players to essentially pause gameplay on multiple games and switch off among them in a queue-like fashion whenever they'd like. Users seem to enjoy the feature to begin with, so any well-crafted improvements are just icing on the cake.

Marie explained in her thread that Alpha and Alpha Insiders will now be able to check which of their games are Quick Resume compatible before engaging with it. Additionally, users can delete unwanted save states right from the menu.

The replies were littered with positive comments, gratitude toward Marie and her team, and eager questions regarding when the Quick Resume improvements will hit the rest of the player base's consoles. Marie kept her answer brief.

"Stuff that's in preview now should hopefully not be more than a month-ish out from general release," she wrote.
