"Like the Xbox Series X, the PlayStation 5 is also able to quick resume a game if you turn it off and come back to it later. Although the Switcher icon that some noticed on the Home menu is basically just a history button, showing you the last few games or apps that you used and starting them up from scratch if you want to play them again."

That's not quick resume...that sounds like the regular suspend/resume on PS4

Sounds like there is, but it isn't the Switcher button? Otherwise, that is weird phrasing. It sounds like they are saying there is, and then describing something that isn't. Not that I care either way.

Is quick resume really needed when it boots games in ~7 seconds anyway?

I assume Metro jumped the gun on this review too, oops.

It's not a huge deal but it would be nice to have. Especially with the backwards compatibility which won't be SSD optimised and will in most cases be running off an external drive.

sounds like just for a single game though like it already does with the PS4 but now from off to on and not just sleep mode

Sony were clearly planning to have even more ready for the PlayStation 5's launch, with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart using every trick in the console's book but now delayed until early next year.
LOL where the hell did they get this information ?
Sony never said or implied anything about Ratchet available at PS5 launch

I would bet the vast majority of people will be running PS4 games off the ssd, not an external drive.

The people who go to that level or feel the need to have everything ready to play are the minority.

Quick Resume doesn't bother me since I wouldn't use it that much but yeah sucks not to have it, can still be patched later and maybe be an improved version of the concept if Sony dedicates time to implement it.

Soo... it doesn't have the equivalent of quick resume then

I understand if you turn off the console and then you turn it on you continue that one game were you left. That is NOT quick resume.

Well it's either quick resume or suspend depending on if the "it" is referring to the game or the PS5 I guess.

Anyway not a feature I'll likely use whether it exists or not as I tend to play one game at a time :p

It does seem like PlayStation's answer to quick resume is activities.
We'll just have to wait and see how effective it is.

i think the better thing about quick resume is you don't have to worry about checkpoints or saves, it is basically a save state.
That makes it sound way more useful than just stacking games in a pile to load back into whenever!

Cards/activities could be used in a similar way based on the way the Fortnite update uses them maybe? Like a card to jump back in at the spot you previously left the game. That seems like something patchable if it isn't in by launch.

I assume we will today get more reviews and hopefully some video hands on reviews too?

yeah, i also think there's nothing stopping them from implementing it later, maybe they don't want to reserve even more of the internal storage atm since there's no way to increase it at launch!
