Moreover, Microsoft assured that the feature will be accessible to all the other console owners later on.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"core-block\">Xbox: The First Carbon-Aware Console<\/h3>\n<p class=\"core-block\">What does this new feature do?  It reduces power use by up to 20x while the console is turned off without harming performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">On its official webpage, Microsoft explained: \u201cWhen your console is plugged in, connected to the Internet and regional carbon intensity data is available, Xbox will schedule game, app, and OS updates for your console at specific times during the nightly maintenance window that may result in lower carbon emissions because a higher proportion of electricity is coming from lower-carbon sources on the electric grid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">\u201cFor example, instead of your Xbox waking up during the nightly maintenance window at a random time between 2:00 AM \u2013 6:00 AM, your console will wake up at a time when it can use the most renewable energy in your local energy grid.  This fossil fuel dependency and CO2 emissions, and could potentially save you money,\u201d Microsoft added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">Furthermore, the company estimated that, for every two consoles that switch to \u201cShutdown\u201d for one year, the equivalent amount of carbon removed by one tree for a decade can be saved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\"><em class=\"core-block\"><strong class=\"core-block\">See also: Microsoft To Raise Prices Of New Xbox Games From 2023: Here&#8217;s How Much You&#8217;ll Have To Shell Out<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">All in all, this is not the first decision Microsoft makes in order to be more \u201cgreen\u201d: in 2019, it joined the \u201cPlaying for the Planet Alliance,\u201d and it also pledged carbon negativity, water positivity, and zero waste by 2030 .<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\"><em class=\"core-block\">Photo by Billy Freeman on Unsplash<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft MSFT&#8216;s xbox is getting a new update that aims to help console owners reduce their carbon emissions.
