As part of the Games with Gold program, Microsoft has announced the August 2022 games exclusive to Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass Ultimate members.

The shortening in boot time, noticed by Xbox Series X/S users recently, has been confirmed by Microsoft. According to Xbox Marketing Manager Josh Munsee, the screen where the Xbox logo appears went from 9 seconds to 4 seconds. The entire boot of the Xbox, on the other hand, slumped from 20 seconds to 13-14 seconds.
It was stated that the new performance update was most noticed in the area where the Xbox logo was shown. By preparing a shorter boot animation, Microsoft was able to offer users a faster boot time.
The change to Xbox Series X/S boot has been applied to all consoles. So you can take advantage of the fast boot time by downloading the latest update. However, it should be noted that this will only work in Energy Saver mode. If you haven’t experienced a shortened Xbox Series boot time, you may be in Standby mode.
