You may have heard that your Xbox can supposedly download and install games while you’re not using it, but the first time you tried – you woke up to the same install percentage as the night before. One common question most Xbox One users ask themselves is, “If I turn off my Xbox will my game still download.” If you need to download a game like Fortnite on your Xbox One but don’t want to leave the console running, you have options. Head to ‘General’ settings and in ‘Power options’ select ‘Sleep mode.’ Ensure the ‘When Xbox is off, turn off storage’ option is unticked.
Quick Answer: Yes, you can download and install games on your Xbox one while it’s off, but you need to adjust some settings.
