Share this story Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The Xbox Series X / S’s handy Quick Resume feature, which suspends supported games so that they boot up more quickly when you come back to them later, is getting some nice improvements in the May Xbox update. Once the update is installed on your console, you’ll be able to see which games are kept in Quick Resume with a new tag, and you’ll also be able to make a group of games in Quick Resume so you have access to all of them in a single spot. Microsoft is also promising that Quick Resume will have “improved reliability and faster load times,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Hildebrandt said in a blog post.
Xbox Series X|S Controller Update Fixes Launch Issue ✖ Xbox has released its March update for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S family of consoles with a welcome improvement for the next-gen Xbox controller. This update fixes “many of the controller disconnects” players have been experiencing when using the Xbox Series X|S controller since launch, according to the Xbox team. Other changes included in the update include preparations for the FPS Boost and the return of achievements in the Xbox App. Those with the next-gen Xbox controller may notice the lack of disconnects after downloading the latest Xbox update, but hopefully it’s something you won’t have to notice at all since your controller will just be working as intended. Either way, the change isn’t something you’d see discussed in the breakdown of the release itself. Microsoft’s post about the March update made no mention of the resolved controller disconnect issues, but Xbox’s Director of Program Management Jason Ronald noted on Twitter that the controller fixes are included in the release.

Part of its positioning as the one device you d need connected to your telly was its ability to act as a TV pass-through, so you could hook up your cable box or your USB TV tuner. Microsoft announces a TV show which still hasn t aired, eight years ago. Thankfully, all of that went away very quickly, along with many of the Microsoft execs who thought it was a good idea. But one element has remained until now: OneGuide, Xbox One s TV listings app.
