Microsoft has said it’s in the process of updating Xbox consoles with new energy saving features that make it the first carbon aware gaming platform
Following the new system update, Xbox will attempt to schedule console updates at times when a larger proportion of electricity is coming from lower-carbon sources on the electric grid.
“This one-time update to your power settings will reduce your power consumption while your console is off, and will not affect performance, gameplay, or your console’s ability to receive overnight updates to system, games or apps. “Shutdown will allow Xbox One consoles to receive system, game or app downloads overnight, just like Xbox Series X|S. With Shutdown selected, Xbox One consoles will experience a slower boot time. Remote features are still supported while the console is powered on.”Frame rate and resolution adjustments are among the features cited in a new survey
