Instead, it will allow the Xbox to check, download, and process updates during the times it knows that will result in lower carbon emissions. In other words, starting with this update, Xbox will now prioritize installing updates when more clean energy is being used (such as wind, solar, and hydro) while a the same time saving some electrical costs. (Windows 11 introduced the same carbon awareness mechanism with the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-22h2-new-features\/\">version 22H2<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the April 2023 update also introduces a refresh for the search experience. According to the company, the new page to search for games, entertainment, and apps has been overhauled with a new design, &#8220;gallery-style results, visible filter categories navigable with RB\/LB, the option to \u201csearch on YouTube\u201d within the Movies &amp; TV tab, and more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_154461\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-154461\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/xbox-new-search-ui.webp?resize=827%2C487&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Xbox new search page\" width=\"827\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/xbox-new-search-ui.webp?w=1024&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/xbox-new-search-ui.webp?resize=300%2C177&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/xbox-new-search-ui.webp?resize=975%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 975w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/xbox-new-search-ui.webp?resize=150%2C88&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Xbox new search page \/ Image: Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Xbox April 2023 update is rolling out this week to every console worldwide.
