Update Your Console
With your Xbox account in place, it’s time to get your console set up. There are some general instructions included in the box that comes with your console to guide you through connecting to your broadband internet connection and plugging into your HDMI-capable TV. Follow those and you should be mostly on your way to enjoying some gaming soon. But now comes one of the most important steps: Updating.
It’s recommended you always update your console during setup before you attach any additional peripherals, such as external hard drives, Batterieladestationen, etc. This helps ensure maximum compatibility between your devices.
Diese can take some time depending on your broadband connection and how many updates the console needs to apply. This is also a great time to download the Xbox app for iOS oder Android, which also includes some step-by-step instructions (and lets you manage your console from your smartphone).
Parents: We know you’ll be in a rush to get your system set up as quickly as possible so the kid(s) can jump right into Minecrafting and Fortniting. But it is worth taking the time to set up your precious dependents with a child account for them to play on, as the system will ask if children will be playing on this system during the “out of box experience.” Speaking from experience, we recommend you complete this step before gifting the new Xbox console to your kids. Perhaps you sneak out of bed and hook it up the night before. You can still wrap the big box and put it under the tree, maybe hide a puppy next to it if you’re feeling extra generous. So oder so, it’s best to take care of these steps ahead of time so your kids’ first-time experience with the console isn’t staring at a update bar at the bottom of your television.

Wussten Sie, dass Sie dazu beitragen können, Emissionen zu reduzieren? (und Ihre Energierechnung) with Xbox? Das ist wahr. By utilizing the Shutdown (Energie sparen) power option, you’ll use up to 20x less power when your console is turned off. Thanks to the Xbox Velocity Architecture and the Custom SSD (Solid State Disks) Internal Storage, the boot-up time for your console will still be extremely fast (comparable to that of an Xbox One console).
So, what’s waiting an extra couple seconds before you start playing games when you can help the planet? so fest, dass es in zwei Teile brechen könnte, ich sage.
