- The “instant on” Xbox Series X and S feature saves about 10 to 15 seconds of waiting when starting up the console.
- A report looking at the environmental impact of the instant on feature says US Xbox owners would consume up to an extra 4 billion kWh of energy through 2025 to take advantage of the feature.
- Microsoft says the feature is not enabled by default, as Xbox owners can choose between instant on and energy saving modes when configuring the Xbox Series X and S.
The new Xbox and PlayStation consoles are all about speed. The Xbox Series X/S and PS5 generally feature similar hardware that will make possible new gaming experiences. It’s not just the processing power that has increased dramatically, but also the storage speed. Both consoles ship with high-speed SSD drives that will make loading screens a thing of the past. You’ll get into the action a lot faster than before, and you’ll pick up where you left off in seconds. It turns out that. “Instant on” and “quick resume” are signature features of the new Xbox models, but it turns out one of them might have a major problem you should know about, and fix yourself if needed.
