Xbox Introduces Energy-Saving Feature: Test Mode Shuts Down Console During Scheduled Hours

The company is also introducing a ‘shutdown (energy saving)’ option that reportedly uses up to 20 times less power than sleep mode, while still allowing overnight updates to your Xbox and its games. This means you can reduce your energy footprint and potentially shrink your bills. The update will be automatic for Xbox Series X/S users in the Insider program, and it should be available for One model as early as today.
