As a long-time fan of Hideo Kojima and his groundbreaking works, I can’t help but feel like Santa Claus has come early this holiday season! Not only did we get the surprise release of Death Stranding on Xbox, but now they’ve fixed that pesky Quick Resume bug. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for us players, trying to navigate the treacherous terrain of Bridges while also dealing with technical difficulties. But now, we can finally focus on the game itself without worrying about our progress getting lost in limbo.

The latest update for Death Stranding on Xbox has been launched, fixing an issue related to the Quick Resume feature. Originally exclusive to PlayStation consoles, Death Stranding from Kojima Productions was unexpectedly brought to Xbox Series X/S, sparking great anticipation about the upcoming sequel. Now, Xbox players are thrilled to have a chance to personally experience this critically praised game.

Despite being a game that divided opinions due to its slower tempo, Death Stranding was still one of the most significant video games in 2019, as is often the case with Kojima productions. The game was nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards alongside other notable titles such as Control from Remedy, the remake of Resident Evil 2, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which eventually won the award. A director’s cut of Death Stranding was released in 2021, this version being optimized for PlayStation 5 and making its way to Xbox last week. The reveal of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach took place at The Game Awards 2022, with the game still being one of the most highly anticipated upcoming titles.

Approximately a week after the unexpected arrival of Death Stranding on Xbox, its publisher, 505 Games, has released a minor update to address an issue with the game’s Quick Resume feature. Previously, some players using this function encountered problems saving their progress in the game. Though no additional details were provided regarding other changes, given that it was the port’s main problem, 505 Support confirmed that the most recent version of Death Stranding on Xbox is now version 1.4.1917.0.

Death Stranding Xbox Quick Resume Bug Has Been Fixed

It’s unusual for a game, particularly a port of a five-year-old game making its debut on a new console for the first time from a studio without any prior releases on that platform, to launch with so few glitches. This achievement showcases the skill and dedication of Kojima Productions and their quality assurance and testing teams. Some Kojima enthusiasts speculate that this sudden release of Death Stranding on Xbox may be a strategy to bring the community up-to-speed with the first game ahead of potential multiplatform announcements for Death Stranding 2. However, it’s equally plausible that this is merely the end of any exclusivity agreement between PlayStation and Death Stranding.

Right now, Death Stranding is on sale for Xbox players at half price. However, it’s uncertain when the game will go back up to its original $40 cost. As The Game Awards are approaching, there might be new updates or information about Death Stranding for fans who have been anticipating a sequel since its unveiling two years ago.
