Microsoft is all set to release the new Xbox with pre-orders beginning from September 22, 2020. The console is packed with new generation technology, which has definitely raised the bar for Sony’s PS5 as well. Fans around the world are most excited about the Quick Resume feature on the console. r/XboxSeriesX [https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/] recently uploaded a demo video of Quick Resume on the Xbox Series S. Also read – How PS5 can counter Xbox Series in Console War [https://www.essentiallysports.com/how-playstation-5-can-counter-xbox-series-x-and-s-in-the-console-war-esports-news/] HOW DOES QUICK RESUME WORK? The brand new Xbox [https://www.xbox.com/en-IN/consoles/xbox-one] uses velocity architecture to improve hardware and software coordination. This has completely changed the usage of SSD, i.e. Solid-state Drive. In simple words, RAM does not store the game data, but the SSD does. This has enabled users to switch between games at any exact moment without losing a single second of progress. Most users play three or four games in a month. These include a wide range made up of Battle Royales, Sports and Simulation, and others.

On average, Quick Resume can take 6.5 seconds to switch between two games which is quite incredible. The number of games that can be stored is completely based on the game size. However, Microsoft confirmed that this feature is built to store multiple games at a time. Surprisingly, Quick Resume even works after the user has plugged out their console. This is all thanks to the SSD, and players can switch off their console and continue from the very exact moment even after a break of three or four weeks. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Xbox-Series-S-1-1.jpg] OTHER FEATURES WHICH MAKE THE LATEST XBOX A POWERHOUSE Features like Smart Delivery, which help in cross-gen ownership of games, and Ray Tracing are also a part of the new Xbox. The console is an absolute gaming beast with its Eight-Core AMD Xen 2 processor running at 3.8 GHz power. Fans around the world have their money ready for the new Xbox One. 2020 will definitely have a good ending for all gaming fans. Such innovations to make the gaming experience better surely deserve appreciation.

Xbox Series S is the next-gen console by Microsoft that is a scaled-down version of the Xbox Series X. It is Xbox's smallest console yet and is almost 60% smaller than the Series X.

So far, only a white version of the console is shown but it has all the next-gen capabilities. The console may not be as powerful as the Series X but can run all the next-gen games seamlessly.

While the Series S is comparable in basic hardware to Series X, it lacks the Ultra HD Blu-ray optical drive, the raw processing power, and some specs of the high-end variant. The other difference between both of Microsoft’s next-gen consoles is the price point.
