How to lower the cost of running an Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X typically draws 150–210W during games, depending on how demanding the title is, and much less on menus or video streaming. Its energy-saving shutdown mode uses well under a watt, while the 'sleep' standby mode draws more so it can wake and update quickly. Add your TV's consumption for the full cost of a gaming session.

  • Use the energy-saving shutdown option instead of sleep mode.
  • Turn on auto power-off after inactivity.
  • Stream video on a low-power device instead of the console.
