Death Stranding on Xbox Series X|S Faces Quick Resume Save Issue; Fix in Progress
The surprise launch of Death Stranding: Director’s Cut on Xbox Series X|S has been one of the most unexpected pieces of news recently. Many players have likely jumped straight into Hideo Kojima’s unique adventure, but some have already reported a significant issue related to the game’s Quick Resume feature.
For those unaware, Quick Resume is a popular feature of the Xbox Series X|S that lets players switch between games seamlessly. However, if not implemented correctly, it can sometimes cause problems.
Death Stranding Xbox Quick Resume Bug Affects Saves
As reported by Windows Central journalist Jez Corden, loading Death Stranding: Director’s Cut through Quick Resume will prevent players from being able to save their game again. To avoid this, players need to fully close the game after finishing and also remove it from Quick Resume before restarting.
In response to Corden’s post on X/Twitter, 505 Games confirmed that they had received the feedback and informed the development team about the issue and a fix is expected soon. Until then, players are advised to avoid Quick Resume entirely to prevent progress loss during gameplay.
Death Stranding: Director’s Cut was unexpectedly launched yesterday on Xbox Series X|S. This surprise release may be connected to Hideo Kojima regaining full rights to the intellectual property, five years after the game’s original debut on PS4.
Currently, the game is also available at a 50% discount across all platforms for a limited time, with the original price reduced to $19.99. If you’re on the fence whether to get it or not, read on here for our review of the PlayStation version where we state, “Death Stranding is a title that will be remembered for a very long time.
