Microsoft is reportedly looking to bring Xbox-style quick resume to Windows. As reporter Tom Warren spotted on Twitter, Xbox’s head of hardware Roanne Soanes focused on the potential of “quick resume” tech at an Asus ROG Ally streaming event.
Soanes speculates about the possibility of playing a game on a desktop PC, and then resuming the same game from the same point on a portable device like the Ally. She then points out that similar tech exists on Xbox, so it’s a question of how to bring that to other devices. She said, “How do we think about integrating [quick resume] into Windows platform? How do we think about really working with developers and publishers, not just our own, but also more broadly with third party?”
