Xbox as a platform is officially dead

I never upgraded from the Xbox One X and haven’t once felt like I’ve missed anything this entire generation.

My next console will be either a steam deck or just a living room PC running Linux.

It’s not in the budget right now though, so it depends what’s available when I decide to pull the trigger

Quick resume is pretty much the only thing about the Series X that has stood out for me. It’s nice being able to hop into multiple games without waiting for loads and being right back where you left off. It’s by no means a must have though. It’s way better than the PS5’s equivalent.

While not quite the same thing: sleeping in the middle of a game is something that every platform other than Windows can do. Linux, including the Steam Deck, can just go to sleep in the middle of the game and bring you right back to where you were before putting it to sleep.

If this new Xbox is Windows-based, they are going to lose not only the sleep ability, but also the quick resume you point out.

What they’re describing isn’t just going to sleep, but putting a game on pause, doing whatever else you want (such as playing a different game) and then resuming exactly where you left off.

It’s basically just dumping the RAM to a file and loading it later, same as an emulator save state.
