One and a half hours it took to download, I only get to game for a couple of hours a session these days. I'm still seething this morning.

Xbox is usually cabled, I'm decorating at the minute following a loft conversion so things are in temporary places. Can't wait to get it back to being plugged in.
So I pick my son up last night, we get back at 8pm which is later than usual and only gives me an hour or two game, fire up the Xbox, go to launch Atomic Heart, another update emerges, not as beefy as the last one but still 20 mins over WiFi.
There is something very frustrating about only getting an hour on a game, games are huge these days with lots to do and see and an hour just feels like five minutes in gaming time

Psst. Xbox has auto update feature in the power settings.

Only checks for updates during the night, if the update drops in the day and you launch the game the same day you're stuffed
I've read it also only works for the last "3" games you've played, not sure how true that is but I've experienced @Relentless81 pain in getting all set-up to game only to be faced with updates.

Yeah I read similar, explains why some games don't get updated until you turn the Xbox on on.
Funnily enough my console is set to auto update but doesn't seem to update all games, on occasion i start the console up i find some games haven't updated. I get pretty annoyed as why don't they just update all the games especially as the update is size is horrendous sometimes.
As Mariusz has pointed out i guess it may only update the past 3 games which is useless if I'm constantly playing different games.

Need to buy a headset
This will be fine won't it?

Yes, but it's wired, if you don't mind a cable going from the headset to the console. This is the wireless version ( but often out of stock on Amazon ) https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/accessories/headsets/xbox-wireless-headset

Ah never knew about the 3 games issue. I only really play 1/2 at a time so this makes sense..
I don't believe it's only at night time that the updates happen, just on the basis that I know a game I play updates around 2pm and when I play at 4pm it's updated

My Xbox is on the same desk that I work at every day and it's never fired up in the day, only ever at night have I heard it fire up to check for updates
Have you changed any settings or are there any settings available have it check in the day?

I don't think it fires up like turns on right? Unless you're in silence, I'd have thought you'd not hear the noise of the fan slowly running
Interested to know if someone can confirm when it auto updates and if it's a set time.

It's literally a foot away from me I would hear it and I have heard it turn on at night many times.

A new demo for Woo Long is out now!!!!
I've got 4 hours playtime until I put myself through listening to Derby County away at Barnsley!

I picked it up on the cheap a while a go but just couldn't get into it. Was far too hard and clumsy for my liking.
Well, I have that and the Witcher 3 GOTY edition to play. It should keep me busy. Also, I have my eye on Elder Scrolls Online High Isle Collectors Edition for £24.
Witcher 3 is amazing. I played it back in 2017 and I'm playing it back through again now.
