  1. Add a "Sleep/Rest Mode" option directly to the power menu


    Please add a dedicated "Sleep" or "Instant-On" option to the Xbox shutdown menu, just like the PS5's Rest Mode.
    Right now, players have to go into Settings > Power Options to manage this, which is clunky and not user-friendly. A quick-select option in the power menu would make switching between Energy Saver and Instant-On much easier and more intuitive.

    Many players, like me, want to sometimes suspend the console without fully shutting it down — without changing global settings every time.
    This small change would improve the user experience a lot.

    Is there a Sleep/Rest Mode?

    Yes there is the "Instant-On" mode which gives quicker startup time and will let the console download system updates and apply them when they become available..

    When you have set the consoles Power mode to "Instant" on you just turn it off like before and it will enter Instant off mode instead of turning completely off

    More info on how to change Your Xbox One's Power mode can be found here:

    Stand by Mode?

    Go to your games and apps , then into settings and then into power and startup.

    If you want the machine to be in sleep mode ( not off and ready to resume quickly ) pick the option in the power settings called power mode instant on. If you want the machine to be off completely and be a little slower to start up , pick the option called
    Power mode energy saving/

    You swap between modes by clicking on the power mode box

    Then once you have picked you power mode of choice , pressing the xbox button on the console or holding the xbox button on the controller , or using the kinect voice option to power off will put your console either off completely or into sleep mode ready
    to go.

    There is no choice of powering off the console in a certain way that say powers it off all the way or puts it in sleep mode if thats what you were thinking.

    Its all set by what option you pick in the settings , so if you have it to just sleep and decide you want to power off completely next time then you will have to change the option.

    Hope that made sense lol

    Xbox on and off

    Hello Juan, my name is Gerardo and I'm happy to help.

    This is due to your console's power settings, the console intro will appear every time you turn it on if you have the "Shutdown (energy saving)" power mode set. That said, if you want the console to turn on directly, you need to set the power mode to "Sleep", this way you will prevent the console intro from appearing.

    You can change your console power mode using the following procedure:

    1. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
    2. Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > Power options.
    3. Select the option you prefer (sleep mode if you want to skip the Xbox intro).

    For more information about energy modes check the following link:

    I hope this helps, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to let me know.
