When we published our 10/10 review of Death Stranding for Xbox Series X and Series S recently, we only had one thing to put in the "cons" section - and that was related to a Quick Resume bug that had caused issues for some players.
We didn't actually run into a problem with it, but it was clearly causing a headache in some instances, with people losing progress because of the glitch. However, it's now been fixed via a new update, as confirmed by publisher 505 Games:
"A new update is now live for DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT on Xbox Series consoles. This addresses the Quick Resume bug that prevented some players from saving their game progress. Game Version is 1.4.1917.0. Thank you SO much for your patience. Keep on keeping on!"
If you want to be as safe as possible, we'd probably still recommend avoiding Quick Resume (we all know that it can cause occasional errors after all), but we're assuming this fix was tested thoroughly, so you should be OK now.
And if you're still on the fence, you've got just under a week to take advantage of the 50% discount for Death Stranding Director's Cut on the Xbox Store, after which it'll revert to full price. In other words, don't wait around if you want it!
