Modern Xbox consoles will soon have a new default setting that regulates the video game systems’ power usage to protect the environment.

The press release also said, "With Shutdown (energy saving) selected, Xbox One consoles will experience a slower boot time."

Microsoft is one of the world’s largest computer software, hardware and video gaming companies, but has engaged in some woke messaging and political initiatives in recent years.

Young America's Foundation tweeted, "Lol now the woke brigade is after video games all in the name of climate change."

Conservative journalist John Ziegler commented on the announcement as well, "Could this be what finally makes some young people realize the negative real-world impacts of the #ClimateScam?!

Commentator Rick DeVos slammed the announcement as part of a technological slippery slope, "Just another small marker on the chute we are zooming down where every functionality, experience, and general service level degradation is celebrated as a great and glorious victory for The Planet/Justice/etc."
