Yep! If you have Instant-On mode enabled, your Xbox can download and install games even when it's off. Handy, right?

I can confirm from personal experience that games do install when the Xbox is off, as long as you have the right power settings configured.

Nope, if your Xbox is completely off, it won't install anything. Switch to Instant-On mode for that feature!

Definitely! Just make sure your Xbox is in standby mode (Instant-On) and it'll do the downloading and installing without you lifting a finger!
