You can now disable game art from the home background. It&#8217;s now possible to use the Google Home app as the remote control for the console, and this update ships a few other changes.<\/p>\n<h2>Xbox February update new features<\/h2>\n<p>In this release, the company rolls out changes to the download mechanism to make sure that Xbox Series X, S, and One download games and system updates when the electricity comes from lower-carbon sources to save energy and lower the carbon footprint. Electrical grids supply power from various sources, including renewables and fossil fuels. In this update, Xbox will prioritize installing updates when more clean energy is being used, such as wind, solar, and hydro.<\/p>\n<p>This feature is similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-build-22567-new-features\/\">carbon-aware changes for updates on Windows 11<\/a>. Also, the new energy-efficient feature will only be available when the console is connected and regional carbon intensity data is available.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the February 2023 update makes the &#8220;Shutdown&#8221; option the default on all consoles to save even more energy (up to 20x when compared to &#8220;Sleep&#8221; mode). If you prefer the Sleep mode, you will have to <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/change-shutdown-action-xbox\/\">change the setting manually<\/a> using the active hours so that starting the console remains fast.<\/p>\n<p>The Xbox update for February also enables the ability to use the Google Home app on Android devices as the remote control for the console. This is in addition to the voice controls that you can use with Google Assistant to manage your Xbox.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_152371\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-152371\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/xbox-google-home-remote.webp?resize=827%2C441&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Google Home Xbox remote\" width=\"827\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/xbox-google-home-remote.webp?w=1024&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/xbox-google-home-remote.webp?resize=300%2C160&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/xbox-google-home-remote.webp?resize=1020%2C544&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1020w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/xbox-google-home-remote.webp?resize=150%2C80&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Google Home Xbox remote (Source: Microsoft)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As part of the design changes, starting with this update, you will be able to hide game art in the background and display solid colors instead.
