If you've got your Xbox in Instant-On mode, it'll handle downloads and installs while it's 'off.' Just make sure it's enabled in the settings.

Nope, can't install games when it's totally off. Make sure it's in Instant-On mode instead.

From my experience, setting my Xbox to Instant-On mode was a game-changer! It kept downloading updates and installations while I wasn't using it. Super convenient!

Just switch your Xbox to Instant-On mode in the settings, and it'll install games while you sleep. Who wouldn鈥檛 want that?

Yes, if you enable Instant-On mode, your Xbox will continue downloading and installing games even when it's powered down. It's a lifesaver for those massive game updates!
