When can we finally exclude games from Quick Resume?

Hi, when you open the game in your Series X. The game starts from the quick resume / the quick resume feature is used?
Or did you open the game from the start?

Hi MemZ785,

Quick resume is only built for games, so no it wouldn't bump these out from opening apps like Rewards or Edge for example.

Disabling quick resume is being explored, but there is no ETA on when it will happen or even if it can. Quick resume is baked into the hardware at very low level and may not be able to be disabled.
