Do you know how much money you’re spending powering your consoles? As we head into a winter of unprecedented energy prices in the UK, it’s a question that couldn’t be more relevant.
To find out, we collaborated with hardware experts Digital Foundry to run a series of tests to determine how much energy each console uses, per hour, doing a range of different things: in standby mode, idling on the menu, playing a game, and so on. Digital Foundry’s Tom Morgan then recorded the numbers in a table for this article.
There are a few things worth noting about the numbers. The electricity price we used to calculate costs is 34 pence per kilowatt hour (kWh), because that’s the current cap for a unit of electricity in the UK.
