Xbox November update includes better power options

Save the planet, one console at a time.

The Xbox November update is out now and includes a host of features like advanced power options.

We’ve mentioned how much power the Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X consoles can potentially use in past posts, and these new options — or better put, UI — have seemingly designed to put some of that power (pun intended) back in the hands of users.

The new settings, available under Settings > General > Power Options,will let you compare power options; more importantly, you’ll get an idea how much power your console will use when turned off.

We’d suggest that players use the Shutdown (energy saving) option as it uses less power but will still let you automatically update your console and games (well, when that works…). New Xbox Series S & X consoles are set to this by default.

The Xbox November update also lets you connect to Discord channels from your console, offers improved capture UI and more.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
