With the rising cost of energy, using power-saving mode on your Xbox console can save you more money than you think. Here's how to utilise it.
Whether you have a Xbox Series S or an Xbox Series X, you can advantage of Xbox's power-saving feature. Without this mode enabled, your console will automatically go into sleep mode rather than shutting down entirely, which means it still draws and consumes power. This consumption, despite being small, can quickly rack up extra costs on your energy bill.
But when swapping to shut-down (energy-saving) mode, your console will take longer to switch back on, up to 45 seconds, and you won't be able to wake it up with your voice, but it uses less power as a result. After an update earlier this year, Xbox consoles are now automatically going into energy-saver mode, but if you find that yours still isn't, here's how to turn it on.
