For sure! Just make sure you have 'Instant-on' mode enabled in the settings, and your Series X will keep downloading even when powered down.

Yup! As long as your Xbox Series X is set to 'Instant-on' mode in the power settings, it'll keep downloading games and updates even when it's turned off.

It does if you set it to 'Instant-on.' Otherwise, it won't.

Yes, but only if Instant-on mode is active. Otherwise, the downloads will pause.
