Xbox Series X Has Fixed One Of Its Most Annoying Launch Problems

Xbox Series X has just fixed something that has been plaguing the system since launch in a new Microsoft patch.

What's that? You mean it finally has some new first party games?

[Chevalier]

Savage. 😆

But the official answer should be "Wait for it....."

Playstation wasn't much better to be honest spiderman that should be dlc and a old Remastered game . And godfall . But yes has some games but nothing to brag about but hay thats just my thoughts

[Adnanilyas21]

Dont forget Demon Souls. Those are games you cant play on any other console. Xbox dont have that.

'Playstation wasn't much better to be honest spiderman that should be dlc and a old Remastered game'
The facts say that the New Spider-Man, ya know the game you called a 'DLC' was the 3rd best selling game in the month on November which BTW only had a 18 day window. The other game ' a old remastered game' was the 10th best selling game in November with the same 18 day window and it come with a 92 metascore. Both games are system selling must have games for any gamer. So not to offend but you are way off base with the 'Playstation wasn't much better to be honest' comment.

Astro's Playroom is the sleeper hit of the console launches this year. Don't ignore it, that would be folly!

@Latex74
You obviously haven't played the PS5 games you're dissing based on how you're talking. I've not played Demon's Souls yet (hopefully Xmas maybe), but Miles Morales is way beyond just DLC - and Astro's Playroom is a revelation.

I thought Quick Resume was already fixed though. I haven't had any issues with it for at least a couple weeks.

[UnholyLight]

I've actually been wondering about this for non optimized games such as Halo 5, where it has issues when you quick resume, fire up the game, or come back to it after having the Series X in instant power on mode. It routinely has issues which is partly the dedicated server fault of Halo 5 (which is the message I have to receive before it magically works again).

Hopefully that is fixed too.

[JonTheGod]

Quick Resume works fine for me.

[crazyCoconuts]

"If PS5 does end up making a PS5 Pro, quick resume is something that I hope they steal from Microsoft, " - As if they couldn't just do that with a firmware update.

[Tacoboto]

They might not be able to. Xbox supposedly does it by caching the game's RAM into the system SSD. The number of games is limited by how filled that system allocation they have reserved for the feature is.

If the PS5's system-allocation of the SSD doesn't have enough free space, it won't work.

[traumadisaster]

I actually want to turn off quick resume on both consoles if they have the option. I won’t rest well thinking some of the resources I need in my current game are being saved for one I might not play at a later date is crazy.

[porkChop]

Huh? Quick Resume doesn't take any power away from the game you have running. The other games aren't running in the background.

[IanTH]

I assume the argument is regarding storage space?

NVMe storage on next-gen consoles is currently at a premium, and multiple save states could add up. They both have 16GBs of RAM so you could have - at theoretical maximum, though likely less - upwards of 16GB per game taking up some of your storage space. Anecdotally it sounds like the cache for this is likely under 100GBs (I think it might be as low as 50GBs), but it is enough where reclaiming that space could be preferable to having Quick Resume at that precise moment.

So I could see having the option to either disable it or limit the number of games/amount of space you want to dedicate to the feature could be useful in the event you need the space for a new game install or, more likely, a beefy game update where you would otherwise have to delete a game to make room.

[OptimusDK]

I don't think you really understand how this works

[XBManiac]

Around 500MB of RAM for cache and 12GB of your NVME, precisely... and some bandwith. Nothing you need to worry about.

[Adnanilyas21]

Just need some killer must buy games

[Neonridr]

I know the PS5 has had some issues with Rest Mode with certain titles too. Glad to see they are fixing some of these nuisances.

[predex84]

And I know that games look and run better on PS5, next gen is going to be awesome

[CaptainHenry916]

Does the Quick resume work for disc based games or only for games you purchase online (Xbox game store)?

[Zhipp]

It works for all games.

[CaptainHenry916]

So say your playing Halo from the disc and then you wanna play Forza. You don't have to take the Halo disc out the tray?

console fanboys suck @$$. grown men doing this

Both consoles will be working better and have more features over time , it’s the games that will really separate them. PS5 is playing games a little better generally for multiplats but that wasn’t why I bought the PS5 it’s for the exclusive games I know they are going to get . Xbox I’ll consider in 3-4 years or so when I can decide if they have brought quality and quantity this gen. They failed miserably last gen and this launch . In a couple years they will start releasing games but it will take awhile to see if they have a quality exclusive library or not . I don’t really care if PS5 or Xbox plays multiplats slightly better .I’ll buy the consoles for the exclusives and hopefully MS overcomes the dislike I have with the company and it’s head employees (mainly Phil the used car salesman and Aaron Greenberg) with quality games . I want quality games that I like . Mostly single player stuff with a good MP game here and there . I know Sony will deliver this gen and I have a lot of doubt about Xbox but a sliver of hope they will change my mind . It may not be until next gen or never but I think it’s possible if they focus on good games and not GamePass and play anywhere for casuals . If they focus on casual games like Satya Nadella hinted at I’m definitely not getting an Xbox. He wants those 2-3 billion casual gamers and I have no interest in those games 99% of the time . I hope they use most of their studios for AAA games and not try to find the next Among Us or Fortnite but they see that money and want it . Sony knows what pays their bills , AAA games , MS is searching for what GamePass will be and how to reach the casuals and they could go the casual way I just hope they don’t . I know they will have some AAA games but will they be good and will there be enough quality games for me to buy an Xbox?????
