Does Xbox Download Faster When Off?

Best Answer

Yep, it does! In Instant-On mode, your Xbox can download and update games while it's 'off' (technically in standby). It's like stealth downloading - you get back to gaming faster!

Not really, it all depends on your internet speed and network congestion. The Xbox doesn't magically make your internet faster just because it's 'off'.

Your Xbox might appear to download faster in standby because it’s not using resources for anything else. But, keep in mind, it’s not completely off. It’s in a low-power state.

In my experience, putting the Xbox in Instant-On mode makes downloads finish a lot quicker. Just make sure your power settings are set correctly!
