Useful Unknown Feature Discovered on Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X continues to surprise its users even after five years since its release. Millions of people using the console have discovered a new feature. This discovery, shared by an Xbox user on Reddit, can be used on older Xbox One devices as well as Xbox Series X and Series S models. The feature allows users to quickly put the console into standby mode and allows users to use their devices more efficiently.

Xbox Series X’s Standby Mode Feature

Xbox Series X users have learned that they can instantly put the console into standby mode by holding down the Xbox button and then pressing the “X” button. This feature is especially useful for reducing screen brightness and saving energy during long-term updates or while waiting for game loads. The user who shared this discovery on Reddit stated that he realized that many people did not know about this feature.

In the comments below the post, many Xbox users stated that they had just learned about this feature. Users who did not want the screen to remain on, especially during long download times, stated that this feature was quite useful. Some users shared their thoughts with comments such as, “If I had known this before, I would not have worried about the screen remaining on for hours.”

While the Xbox Series X stands out with the quality gaming experience and advanced features it offers, it also includes many small but useful details waiting to be discovered by users. This feature, which emerged five years later, once again shows how user-friendly the console is designed.

This discovery also brought to the agenda the deficiencies in Microsoft’s user communication. Many users state that such useful features are not promoted enough, and therefore it takes time for them to be discovered. It seems that the Xbox Series X will continue to surprise users with such new discoveries.
