If you own an Xbox Series X/S, then you might want to check your console for a new software patch—Microsoft has started rolling out the Xbox April 2026 system update, which comes with a handful of new features for the user interface, as well as general functionality.
With that in mind, the update comes with the new Quick Resume toggle, which allows users to disable the feature for specific titles. Players can now opt out of Quick Resume for individual games, a change that addresses issues with “always-online” titles which frequently encounter connection errors when resumed from a suspended state.
For the Home dashboard, users can now pin up to 10 custom groups and 10 individual games directly to their main screen, making it easier to organize large libraries. This visual change also extends to the system’s aesthetic, with a new “Custom Colors” menu that lets players select a unique accent color that that will be displayed across the entire Xbox Guide.
The update also adds a dedicated Play History tab within the “My Games & Apps” section, which will show recently played titles from consoles, PC, and cloud gaming into a single view. Additionally, Microsoft is introducing a Save File Indicator which will provide real-time feedback on whether a game’s data is fully synced to the cloud, currently syncing, or experiencing a conflict on another device.
