Roanne Sones, Microsoft’s head of Xbox devices, reiterated the company’s resolve towards introducing features like Quick Resume to PC gaming at an event celebrating the full unveiling.
Forward-looking: Quick Resume remains one of the Xbox’s most significant advantages over PC gaming. Microsoft previously expressed the desire to bring the functionality to PC, but without any success thus far. Recent statements upon the launch of the Asus ROG Ally suggest the company hasn’t given up and that PC gaming handhelds are pushing it to improve Windows.
Roanne Sones, Microsoft’s head of Xbox devices, reiterated the company’s resolve towards introducing features like Quick Resume to PC gaming at an event celebrating the full unveiling of the Asus ROG Ally – the Windows-based handheld ships on June 13 for $700. Microsoft previously explained why implementing Quick Resume on PC is much more complicated than on Xbox.
Modern Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo consoles let users suspend games while leaving the device in sleep mode or performing other tasks on the system before instantly resuming play without significantly impacting performance.
