The update will save Xbox users money in energy costs.
for Xbox Series X and S owners over to an energy-saving power mode. Xbox users will still have the option to switch back to the Sleep mode, but the Shutdown mode will improve power usage and cost savings.
The difference between both Xbox power options is big 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.
This update also includes a new active hours setting that will let you adjust your console’s active hours so that an Xbox will boot quickly and be available for remote wake during the selected hours. Outside of those hours, the Xbox will fully shut down and only draw 0.5 watts. This new feature is a great balance between power savings and convenience.You’ll also be able to start using the Google Home app as a touch remote control for Xbox consoles starting today.
Finally, the Xbox February dashboard update also includes a slight tweak to the Home UI to let you hide game art on the homescreen. Microsoft has also added a quick way to see recent parties in the dashboard, and initially, this is rolling out slowly to a “random subset of users.”
