"Resume Activity" feature gone from PS5, what happened?
- Thread starter Bryank75
- Start date
Yeah the whole card thing never worked out, they obviously rushed the resume activity/instant start after they saw Xbox’s Quick Resume.
Its one feature Xbox got that I wish PS did. I hate having to go through the intro and credit scenes to play a game or a quick round or 2. The PS version was never consistent or what they advertised it to be, Id have to wait just like any other generation, Xbox done the feature way better

I told you it was not broken. They removed it on purpose.
EDIT: So far seems like it's a glitch. Post from a Redditor who contacted support:
Guess if it's a revamp with more options coming, they'll announce something by Friday. They could have made a statement either via the dashboard or their Twitter & blog that it's a glitch, though.

You do when you're in-between save areas or checkpoints in games that don't have liberal saving.
The feature of putting the console in standby and to resume it later exactly where you were still is there.
I assume this 'resume activity' is the button that allowed you to load the game skipping the menus and going directly to the most recent savedade / checkpoint.
Maybe it's a bug, maybe removed it because almost nobody was using it.
It's ok for standby, but if you change games you lose that state. The resume activity card was useful for that situation, and it was the closest PS5 users had of Xbox' quick resume.
I have never used the feature, but my impression was that it would load you into those specific activities on the cards (and remembers multiple activities), instantly. I wasn't under the impression that it was just quick resume where you were left off.
Yes. I assume the default activity card they had there by default was whatever one you had to continue in the point where you were, basically just to load the most recent checkpoint skipping the menus, saving you a few seconds.
I doubt a representative knows anything.
It could load you into an area but it wasn't quick resume. I don't think I've ever used it other than to test it out. It's like selecting a chapter but a bit more specific, you would lose your progress in most cases.
I use rest mode and if I need to I'll just save and start the game up again. The load times aren't to the point where that is a hassle. I'm not generally playing more than 1 game at a time either.
Data probably shows that it isn't used often.
