Xbox players may want to treat Quick Resume as a convenience, not a backup plan. In an X post, BGR said the feature can fail for various reasons, including when a game updates while it's paused, and advised saving manually so you don't lose your place unexpectedly.
That is a small warning, but a useful one for anyone who has gotten used to hopping back into a suspended game and assuming everything will still be there. Based on BGR's post, Quick Resume can still be disrupted by game updates, which is a good reason to keep making normal saves when a game allows it.
If you want the shortest version: Quick Resume is handy, but BGR's advice is not to trust it like a save file.BGR's post says exactly that in plainer terms.
