[MCPE-189691] Game pause feature is no longer available

Game pause feature is no longer available, and "Enable game pause" toggle also cannot be found in the setting. However, the changelog of 1.21.60.25 Preview doesn't mention them, so this should be a bug.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open a world
Enter pause menu

Observed Results:
The game is not paused.

Expected Results:
The game should be paused.

Can confirm that it is fixed by hotfix resource pack.

How is it fixed when there hasn't been a new update???

In theory it was fixed, but it only happens if the game is connected to the internet.

So logically the devs should make it like in the previous Betas/Previews, that is.

It comes installed in the game by default, without the need to activate the internet or log in to Xbox Live.
