Quick resume rarely works after powering off the console.

I'm having the same problem and it's really starting to frustrate me! I have tried it with dead rising 3 and rayman, both on disc and the games won't resume quickly after powering off but when I tried it with Forza which I have digitally, that quickly resumed
after powering off, I'm not sure if it just disc based games that are having the issues with quick resume. Also everything worked fine before the update!

yes every time i resume the console.

my fix which is ridiculous is to start an other app before i power off the console. so fifa is not running when i power of as i still cannot work out how else to close the application apart from start onther.

then when it resumes (the next day etc) i can go straight back to fifa and it will load normally and work with no issues. If i leave fifa open i have to power down (fully power off) and restart before i can get it to connect to ea servers and start playing.
which defeats the quick resume mode??

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.
