If you live in the UK and own an Xbox Series X, you might want to change your console settings if you want to save some money.
New-gen consoles are a beautiful thing. The bells and whistles that come with thePlayStation5 and theXboxSeries X have made gaming more accessible and powerful than ever before thanks to things like quick resume, faster loading screens and more. Having the ability to close out ofThe Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered, playing someHelldivers 2then hopping back to exactly where I left off feels like magic compared to previous generations.
However a lot of these new-gen features are available through rest-modes, which is to say the console is still partially active even when it’s switched off. While being able to boot up your Xbox Series X and load up a game in less than five seconds is great, all that time you’re not gaming could be racking up your electricity bill, none of which are getting cheaper anytime soon.

So if you have an Xbox Series X it might be worth changing the settings to power-saving mode if you want to save a bit of cash each year, just food for thought.
