Many people play video games at night, even at dawn, because that is the only time they have to play. But you have to take care of your eyes … and not disturb others.
Today almost all operating systems and apps have Dark mode, but it is different from Night mode.
The Dark mode change the white backgrounds and black texts of most windows and apps for black backgrounds and white texts. With this system our eyes receive less brightness, and in many screens (mainly OLEDs), battery is saved, because the black pixels are turned off.
The console Xbox series x has long had Dark Mode, but now the Xbox Insiders they already have access to a beta version of Night mode. And it’s one of the most advanced and customizable we’ve seen, as explained The Verge.
The new Xbox Night Mode automatically loads Dark Mode in the interface, and also gives us the option to disable HDR, which requires 100% brightness.
But also This Night Mode lowers the brightness of the screen, and dims the light of the controller and the power button of the console. Also active a blue light filter so that the brightness of the screen does not alter our sleep, when we go to sleep.
From a new menu we can not only activate or deactivate all these options according to our tastes, but also choose the power of the aforementioned lights, or even turn them off completely.
It is a good option not only to take care of our eyes or our health, but also to do not disturb other people with the console lights, if we play at night.
Xbox Series X started the race against PS5 far behind, weighed down by the fright of users that caused the failed launch of Xbox One. But Microsoft has managed to redirect the situation by taking a series of intelligent decisions.
Xbox Series X is slightly more powerful than PS5, so cross-platform games work better.
It is also launching good exclusive games (they also come out on PC), such as the spectacular Microsoft Flight Simulator (analysis and opinion) or the expected Psychonauts 2, which comes out in a few days. And their Xbox Game Pass subscription service is proving to be a huge success.
