Microsoft is rolling out an Xbox system update featuring a redesigned search page, gallery-style results, simplified filter categories, and an updated navigation interface.<\/p>\n
The update also features adjustable active hours power settings. It will start rolling out to users this month.<\/p>\n
“Looking for your next favourite game, movie, and more? You can search for games, entertainment, and apps using the refreshed console search page,” the company said in a blog post<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The search page has a redesigned look and adds the option for users to “search on YouTube” within the Movies & TV tab.<\/p>\n Users can access the new search page by tapping the Search<\/em> button at the top of the dashboard, finding the magnifying glass icon within the guide, or pressing Y<\/em> on their controller from anywhere within Xbox’s user interface.<\/p>\n The new power settings can be accessed by going to Settings<\/em>, General<\/em>, and then Power<\/em>.<\/p>\n Users can select the Shutdown (energy saver) option to conserve power and enable carbon-aware updates on their console.<\/p>\n Being carbon aware<\/a><\/strong> means reducing the carbon footprint by optimising updates and downloads to run at a time when the console can use the most renewable energy.<\/p>\n Users can set times for the console to be ready to wake up rather than power on from a shutdown state. This also aims to help conserve energy.<\/p>\n “When your Xbox’s active hours are done for the day, the console will fully shut down and draw 0.5 watts as compared to 10-15 watts while active,” the company said.<\/p>\n However, it should be noted that the Sleep power option is set to “always active” by default, meaning it never shuts down entirely unless this setting is adjusted.<\/p>\n The update adds a completely revamped search interface and adjustable power settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341076,"featured_media":487579,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85559,67568,123,2682],"class_list":["post-487575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","tag-adjustable-power-settings","tag-console-gaming","tag-microsoft","tag-xbox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487575"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487575"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487575\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":487599,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487575\/revisions\/487599"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
