As reported by Windows Central, a new survey on the PC version of the Xbox Insider app asks players about energy efficiency.
It includes a number of questions around how concerned players are about energy use.
A number of these questions refer to the possibility of letting a game drop its performance in order to use less processing power and therefore cut energy usage.
One question asks: “In general, how would you feel about having in-game features that can optimise settings to save energy if you toggled them on?”
It then specifies: “Game settings adjustments could be things like resolution, frame rate, visual effects, or GPU.”
It follows this up with: “In general, how would you feel about individual games automatically lowering frame rate or resolution when the game is left idle or inactive (to save energy)?”
It also asks players if they’re worried that turning on energy saving features may negatively impact their gameplay experience.
