A new feature in the family of consoles, Xbox will allow users to suspend their current game to improve download speed. This is due to the new Xbox Sleep Feature.
In the tweet below, Xbox Head of Engineering Eden Marie explains that Xbox Insiders are testing the new feature! But, only for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One. This update introduces the small 'Suspend my game' button on the Xbox consoles downloads page. That is, this allows downloads to accelerate at full throttle while suspending the current game.
“Hello Xbox Insiders! Did you notice these changes happening now? Suspend in queue will allow you to download at full speed while ensuring your game remains resumed (or resumed quickly in Series X|S). New banners in the Complete Library will take you to more useful categories!” Translation.
By pressing this button, you are effectively suspending your current game, which you can then resume where you left off. When Xbox users launch a game on the console of their choice, background downloads such as updates slow down, but this feature puts downloads back into a regular rhythm, maintaining your current position in whatever game you are on. Playing.

New Xbox update to suspend games!
Elsewhere in the new update for Xbox Insiders to try, Marie reveals that there are two new tabs in the Xbox Game Pass section of the console: Recently Added and Coming Soon. Through this, you will be able to get a clearer picture of which games have recently been added to the Xbox subscription service and which games are about to come out soon.
This is a nice addition considering the fast pace at which Xbox is adding titles to Game Pass. Earlier this week, it was announced that Outriders was coming to Xbox Game Pass! And that's day one for console and cloud gamers, and shortly after that, Xbox revealed that Square Enix's RPG Octopath Traveler would be debuting on Xbox platforms via the subscription service. The Xbox Game Pass team has been very busy, it seems.
Anyway, this is an update that may allow you to make your downloads faster! After all, the sooner the game is downloaded, the better. So, now you console user, you can “boost” your download in a more practical way.
