According to some reports from users, the new Xbox Series X / S update More than doubles the boot speed.

Update that doubles Xbox Series X/S boot speed
In fact, ever since it came out at the end of 2020, Microsoft has been releasing continuous updates to improve the performance of Series X and Series S consoles. In addition, the player tries to carry their experiences and habits to their new consoles. As an example, we can show that Discord is coming to Xbox consoles in the near future.
Now, this new update, detected by users within the Xbox Insiders program, doubles the opening speed of the console. As you know, these machines, which basically work like computers, run their own operating systems when they are first turned on. This process is called boot, in English “boot”. The new update doubles the boot speed and reduces the Xbox boot animation from 9 seconds to 4 seconds. Marketing manager Josh Munsee also said that this new update speeds up consoles. confirmed via social media. However, you will be able to take advantage of this if you use the power mode of your Xbox console as “Energy Saver”. Already, Microsoft recently set the console’s default power mode this way.
Can confirm – worked with @harrisonhoffman and @jakerose27 to create a shorter boot up animation (~4s) from the original boot up animation (~9s), helping to reduce the overall startup time.

At the same time, this new update improves performance not only for the next generation, but also for Xbox One users. Again, reports from One users indicate that boot speeds have increased noticeably.
We see Microsoft putting more effort into console competition. However, despite all these efforts, it managed to overtake the PlayStation 5 in sales only a few times this year. One of them happened in Japan last month, and due to stock fluctuations, Xbox sales surpassed PlayStation in Sony’s hometown of Japan.
