A new Xbox update could save users some money!
A new update for Xbox consoles is now rolling out to Xbox Insiders, and eventually all users. The goal is to make consoles like the Xbox Series X and Series S"carbon aware," so that they use more renewable energy. Essentially, the console will attempt to schedule updates at a time when it will use the least amount of fossil fuel. According to Xbox, this will happen by using"regional carbon intensity data" when available.
Xbox notes that this change is part of a broader effort on the company's part to reduce gaming's overall impact on the environment. The company has emphasized the benefits of using the Shutdown option on Xbox Series X|S in the past, stating that it"cuts power use by up to 20X when it's off compared to Sleep."
