Microsoft's 'carbon aware' updates feature begins rolling out on Xbox consoles
Additionally, all Xbox users now have access to the company’s new “Shutdown ” option. If you don’t mind longer startup times and missing out on the Xbox’s remote wake functionality, Microsoft says the feature can cut your console’s power consumption by up to 20 times compared to if you were to leave it in sleep mode. “For every two consoles that switch to Shutdown for one year, we will save the equivalent amount of carbon removed by one tree planted and grown for a decade,” says Microsoft.
Separately, the February update adds a feature that allows you to prevent games from changing the background of your Xbox’s home screen. You can now set a solid color of your choice. You can do so by navigating to the Personalization menu within the Settings app. Microsoft has also partnered with Google to allow Xbox owners to use the company’s Home app as a touch remote for their console.
