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.
