Consoles will boot slower but use far less energy in standby.
Microsoft is planning to switch Xbox Series X and S owners over to an energy-saving power mode in a bid for sustainability and cost savings. The Shutdown power option was madeshipped since last March, but millions of Xbox One and Xbox Series X / S consoles still use the more convenient Sleep option.
The difference between both Xbox power options is significant when it comes to energy usage. The Sleep option lets you instantly boot an Xbox Series X / S console, but it uses around 10–15 watts while in standby. If you pick the Shutdown power option, it takes around 15 seconds to boot up a console, but it only uses 0.5 watts while it’s turned off.previously highlighted this gap
“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,” explains Blaine Hauglie, technical program manager at Xbox, in a blog post. “Remote features are supported while the console is powered-on; however, remote wake is not supported while the console is shut down.
