Xbox Series X and Series S consoles are about to receive a major new system update.

The next major firmware update is currently being tested by early access preview members.

And according to Xbox tech leader Eden Marie, the new update makes major changes to one of the console’s best features.

In a series of tweets previewing the update, Marie points out that you can now group your games by titles that support Quick Resume.

Likewise, the upcoming update will let you know if the game you’re currently playing supports the feature in the first place.

“Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead Insiders: In case you’re wondering why I shared that tip about reordering groups!” reads an Eden Marie tweet.

See what’s saved in Quick Resume from your group list (Guide, Home and My games & apps) and see if your running game supports Quick Resume in the Guide.

In a follow-up tweet, the Xbox engineer confirms that fans can remove Quick Resume games that are no longer needed.

“Also delete your Quick Resume storage for games you don’t care about anymore.”

Quick Resume is one of the best new features of the Xbox Series X and S console. This allows you to immediately rejoin more than six previously played games.

However, as I pointed out in my Xbox Series X review, not all games support the feature. In addition, there is no way to know which games support the feature or not, other than through trial and error.

The upcoming Xbox update improves the Quick Resume functionality by removing all doubts.
