Microsoft Launches Automatic Energy-Saving Mode For Select XBox Users Moving Closer To Environmental Goals – $MSFT $DIA $ATOS $INM

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

As per reports, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) is working on an energy-saving update to its Xbox gaming consoles aiming to meet a 2030 deadline for its environmental goals. Starting Xbox Insiders, a subset of users will be automatically switched to a newly introduced energy-saving Shutdown option. When left idle consoles will use less power than in Sleep mode, which enables users to wake up devices and start gameplay more quickly. The Insider program is a small group of gamers that get an early look at features and content in development.

As more people get involved and gaming hardware uses more power, gaming has a substantial carbon footprint that is on track to increase.

“This one-time update to the power settings will reduce power consumption while the console is off, and will not affect performance, gameplay, or the console’s ability to receive overnight updates to the system, games, or apps. Cuts power use by up to 20X when it’s off compared to Sleep” and every two consoles that switch to the energy-saving mode will “save the carbon equivalent of one tree planted and grown for a decade,” informed Blaine Hauglie, technical program manager.
