Exit the Xbox without shutting it off? I have the Xbox One S. I can't figure out how to exit a game. With PC games you click on "end game" or "exit to Windows desktop." Xbox doesn't seem to have a way to exit the game but still be in Xbox. I find myself having to restart the Xbox and go through the tedious sign-in process all over again just to play a different Xbox game. How do you exit one game to jump into another without shutting off the Xbox or signing in all over again?

bump...please, I really need to know. There is no "exit to home screen" button in these games like there is with PC games.

you don't, go back to the main menu or don't... just hit the center big button, it brings you back to the home page... do something else, play another game... that was one of the selling points of the XB1... jumping between games and apps, go back to that game and it's paused where you left off.

You don't exit it.

IE: Today I was playing the Gears of War campaign, I hit the home button, started a game of Forza Horizon 3, played a while, went back home started GoW again, was paused right where I left off... did that about 4 times. wink

You can also hit the xbox button then from the home screen then the button to the right of it (would be start on previous gen controllers, can't remember what xbox calls it now) and one of the options toward the bottom is quit.
