The Quick Resume feature is one of the most interesting features of the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. leave the game in the backgroundwith minimal resource consumption, use both consoles to perform other tasks with a good level of performance, without lags or stops that can negatively impact the user experience, and immediately return to the game when we are finished.

With this feature, we can also leave the game paused when the console goes to sleep and resume the game when we are in front of the console again. Yes, it’s a very useful feature, Microsoft is aware of it, so it’s quite normal that it’s like this Interested in taking it to the PC world as well. In this sense, it should be noted that the rise of portable consoles based on Windows, with the ASUS ROG Ally being one of the great champions of this new market.

However, Microsoft itself has confirmed that bringing Quick Resume to PC is more complicated than it seems because the version of Windows we’re using is in a different league if we compare it to the one that assembles Xbox Series X and Series S, because both use a closed ecosystem and much more limited than PC.

In any case, Microsoft itself has confirmed that new laptops like the aforementioned ASUS ROG Ally have changed the way the company thinks about the Windows user experience, and it’s quite understandable because on these types of devices, a quick resume can make a huge difference.

A quick refresh would allow us to play with the ASUS ROG Ally for a while while we wait for the bus, pause the game so you can go up and pay the ticketand continue it when we sit down. It would also give us the ability to keep the game asleep for several hours with minimal battery consumption and continue playing without problems when we finish our commitments or any task that cannot wait.

I have no doubt that this feature should make it to PC, although it won’t be easy to implement as the game requires suspended and stored in something very similar to a virtual machineand its state is saved to the SSD, making it much faster and easier to get back to where we were later.

Deploying and managing this feature on Xbox is much easier because use closed and restricted software which, as I said earlier, has nothing to do with the Windows we use on a PC, nor with the various possible hardware configurations.
