New Xbox Series X|S feature in testing: You can keep ("pin") up to 2 games in Quick Resume no matter what other games are launched (update: now live!)

This is good.
Pretty sure this isn't a thing yet, but the option to tell a game not to quick resume would be great for games that don't play nice with it.

That's some paranoia. It can't damage your console and maybe I could even somewhat understand the fear of saves being corrupted, but that's not even how it works at all. In the worst case, just make sure you save before utilizing it but otherwise it's totally safe. I don't think I've heard a single instance of save data corruption at all.
What?!
As for your saves, just do a hard save in the game. Or make sure you got a auto save. You're right not to rely on QR to save but as for your last part...
Yeah I know it's safe, but still...
I should start using it tonight! :D
It would really be more useful to me to determine whether any game is quick resume compatible, both in your library in some place like 'compatibility options' and on the console's store itself. Might be odd but quick resume support can often be a selling point and can suffice when buying a multi-platform game on my Series X over another platform. Hell, if you can be informed whether a game has Auto-HDR on the store listing itself too, that would be excellent.

Just fully quit it when you are doing playing. That keeps it out of QR :)
I would have agreed with this. However, both warzone and halo have recently started to work for me from QR. Yes, I need to reconnect online again but that normally only takes a few seconds.
This is amazing. As someone thsy never plays multi player games, I've never had a problem thst some have encountered and quick resume continues to amaze me every single time.
I recently completed Red Dead 2 and quick resume really shined each and every time. Imagine switching on a rockstar game, with the world booting up and you back tin the game in under 3 seconds every time. It's great.

Still a manual action you need to do as result of an unintended effect of the feature.
Interesting! Both games will eventually work for me as well. But both often take so long that I might as well restart.
Oh, yes, please! Sometimes I'll test a bunch of games and not quit them properly, fucking up with the list of games I was juggling in Quick Resume. Two is a pretty good number, especially for games that take too long to start and go through menus and stuff.

This either doesnt always work and the game decides to boot up in quick resume anyways or I sometimes misclick. Either way options to disable it by game is a great idea.
You do you, and hey, whatever works best for your peace of mind, but look up how it works and you'll see these fears have no reason to be. Worst scenario, you'll just have to load up your last save because the feature won't play nice with a certain game.

tested modern warfare 2019 just a few days ago. after quick resume character models were glitching out, objects were disappearing in the environment and the game crashed shortly after
Yeah, I sometimes hard quit Warzone just in case being stuck in QR causes problems.
This is great!!
Sony should really try to add a similar feature to the PS5. I can live without it, but I still want it on both my consoles

Its been a couple of weeks since playing but QR crashed Scarlet Nexus without fail. I definitely expected a stability update or ability to disable before this pinning two games thing.
That's cool. I may actually start using quick resume then. The first few times I used it ended up screwing me over I assume because they were updated so I never used it again.
Now let me pin as many games as I want to the top of the homepage.

the activity cards would probably be the closest equivalent. there just being a card to load the most recent save for all games would even be great, but i dont think that specific one exists, not widely anyway
I rarely, if ever, use them though. They feel too cumbersome.
I only need to get back in the game, I don't care about specific sections. While the intention is good and I understand the thought process behind it... They really should just keep it simple.
If my understanding is correct, Quick Resume games are loaded onto the SSD and don't impact RAM mutch.
Would be nice if you can partition the Series expanded storage to Quick Resume only, so that in the future you can Quick Resume as many games as can fit on your storage.

Nice. I'd want to hear how this works for multiple users though. We have three people jumping between Forza atm.
I would guess you would use this for non shared games as a priority.

Really happy to see this. I had a game in Quick Resume for almost 3 months (co-op game I was playing with my son) and during that period I played maybe 20+ other games and I was always conscious that I could accidentally knock our co-op game out of the Quick Resume list unless I manually intervened.
Obviously we'd only lose some progression if it did happen but being able to pick up exactly where we were (even mid boss fight) was really enjoyable and useful if we needed to stop for any reason. This feature would have been a really nice Quality of Life upgrade and can see myself using it going forward.

Completly understand this point of view. Would never use the feature either. Just like how I dont put consoles in Sleep mode. Everything has to be turned off properly.
This is a good addition as it should allow people to pin the two games they play the most that work with QR. Increasing the overall effectiveness of the feature.
I find quick resume to be much more reliable nowadays there are some games I've played where I've basically only seen the title screen once right now.
Sessions begins exactly where I left off, like how my smartphone works.
Still some failures but these account for less than 5% of resumes for me, some games are completely flawless for reliable resumes though.

It seems to fail when the game get an update/patch which is understandable as it's a soft reset.
I guess you could pin 2 games that you NEVER play and that will help.
That's some good news, I lost some exploration progress on Outer Wilds the other weekend because the game was closed from QR for no good reason (I hadn't even started another game after playing it, bizarre).
Hopefully pinned games will not have these inconsistencies.

Pretty much. The feature is so finnicky that I rarely get use out of it.
