It is always frustrating to wait for a game to finish downloading on your Xbox console. Now, Microsoft is adding a feature where users can pause a game you’re playing to download another title at full speed.

At the moment, the feature is only available to Xbox Insiders. They can find this feature live now on the Manage Queue page.


What makes this feature so special? While users have always had the option to disable a game to speed up their downloads, the new feature will allow you to resume the game you were playing on Xbox One. And the insiders who use the X | series S consoles will be able to quickly resume and return right away.

This feature will finally be available to all users, although we don’t have a precise schedule for when it will happen. But it’s good to know that Microsoft is adding additional features to help players get back into the game much faster!
