Microsoft has confirmed how many games will be supported by Xbox Series X Quick Resume at one time. The company released a new video of the Xbox Series X Quick Resume feature today, letting fans see how the console is able to jump between games without having to wait.
Speaking to Digital Foundry, Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox Series X will support a minimum of three games at once with Quick Resume. This may seem like a strange way of putting things, and some fans may ask why Microsoft hasn't confirmed the maximum number of games the feature can use at once. However, it seems like the maximum number of supported games could vary.
Digital Foundry said that Microsoft did not confirm the size of the SSD cache used by the Xbox Series X, however, the smaller the space a game uses, the more games can be part of Quick Resume at once. Microsoft has shown the console using four games in Quick Resume, Forza Motorsport 7 in 4K at 60FPS, State of Decay 2, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, and The Cave.
The Xbox Series X will be able to offer larger, better looking games as well as all of the games offered through backward compatibility. Players may only be able to load three of those Xbox Series X games in Quick Resume, but could potentially run one Xbox Series X game and several other Xbox One and Xbox 360 releases, as the numbers haven't been confirmed.
Microsoft has said that the Xbox Series X Quick Resume will work when the console has been rebooted. This means that if the console has had to get an update, players will be able to jump back into the games they were playing when it comes back on. Players could load up their favorite games and make sure that they are always ready when they come back to the console.
Several of the biggest Xbox Series X features are around its SSD. Developers will be able to get rid of loading screens in their games by using the SSDÂ which means that players won't have to wait when they are enjoying bigger games. Having a big SSD also means that players are less likely to have to delete one game just to download another. The Xbox Series X will likely have many other exciting features and games, but the SSD could be one of its most popular.
