Quick Resume broken by latest Xbox update

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with quick resume.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectation properly, other gamers have noticed that after the April 30, 2026 update, Quick Resume especially for games like Red Dead Redemption 2 has become far less reliable it is because quick Resume relies on your console staying in a sort of “semi-active” memory state, and changes in the update have affected how the hardware handles power modes.

Switching the power mode from the default “low power” setting to “standby” is the best workaround because the standby mode helps keep more of the console’s state active, which could be why Quick Resume starts working again for you.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Same problem here. Quick resume was quickly becoming my favorite feature & it worked fine before the latest update. Now It never works.

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.





We understand that you need help with this concern. We will work together to achieve your desired resolution.



Quick Resume is a feature that allows you to quickly switch between multiple games without having to wait for them to load again. However, it's possible that some games may not be compatible with Quick Resume.



To troubleshoot this issue, I recommend trying the following steps:



1. Make sure that your Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One console is up to date with the latest system updates.



2. Try restarting your console and then launching Red Dead Redemption 2 again.



3. If the issue persists, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the game.



4. If none of the above steps work, it's possible that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not compatible with Quick Resume. You can check the list of games that support Quick Resume on the Xbox website.

The resume quickly feature has been broken for me as well since the March update. I only have one game -- Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. I also have limited time to play it -- 15 minutes here, 30 there, and that quick resume was a life saver! Now that
it's gone, I'm quite irritated.

I used to look forward to system updates on the Xbox 360. So far on the Xbox One, updates are something I worry about when they are announced. It's like "What's going to break this time?" Seriously, the previous update broke my ability to say "Yes" after
saying "Xbox Turn Off". Now that feature is working again but I can't resume my game in progress. Ugh.

The "Rush Hour" update of the game "broke" the ability to "Quick Resume"
