Video: Xbox Series X Can Keep Games Paused Even When Completely Turned Off
Since the Xbox Series X console is currently being tested by a group of journalists worldwide, we can expect to hear details and information about it in the near future. Some details cannot be discussed at the moment, as confirmed by a French journalist during a live broadcast yesterday.
Microsoft restricts most journalists who have the console under an NDA agreement from discussing certain key points, including heat and device performance in general. However, this does not prevent discussing some points that have been raised by the public recently, especially after showcasing the Quick Resume feature, which allows you to switch between games by pausing them before returning to the same point.
There was a strong argument about whether these games can work or maintain their state even when the console is completely turned off. Australian journalist Alanah Pearce, who previously worked for the global IGN website, had the opportunity to test the device and provide details about this feature.
She confirmed that the device does not lose any content when turned off completely. This is a full shutdown, not just a quick shutdown, as the Xbox Series X platform, like Xbox One, offers two shutdown modes – full shutdown and quick shutdown. However, she used the full shutdown and found that the device kept the games in their state. However, it is unclear how long this state lasts, whether it is limited to 24 hours, for example, or if it is maintained until applications are closed, which should be clarified in the upcoming period, especially as the platform launch is just around the corner. Best regards.
