Are you setting your systems to standby or powering down? Microsoft is making shutdown the default for Xbox Series S|X consoles.
Microsoft is rolling out three new features to Xbox Insiders that will attempt to reduce the environmental impact of its Series X|S consoles. For the inclusion of these new features, Microsoft has given its Xbox console the title of"the first carbon aware console", but if you can look past all that lofty marketing, the new features could go some way to reducing unnecessary power draw from its consoles.
"Xbox will schedule game, app, and OS updates for your console at specific times during the nightly maintenance window that may result in lower carbon emissions because a higher proportion of electricity is coming from lower-carbon sources on the electric grid,"The next feature is actually pretty simple: Microsoft is changing it so Xbox Insider's consoles automatically shift to the Shutdown power option.
The console's boot time will be slower with the new mode enabled, but that feels like a small price to pay for lower energy consumption.
