Installing Xbox One games into hard disk while in sleep mode
The Xbox One is capable of installing games when in sleep mode into its internal storage. However, is it able to do so with external ones as well? Do I have to keep the console on the whole time to install into an external hard disk?
Best Answer
Yes, your Xbox One can install both digital and physical copies of games while in Sleep mode. I have done this myself enough times to verify it, but here is an additional source.
Likewise, the console is able to install either to internal storage or external drives while in sleep mode. It will attempt the install to the drive with most free space.

The benefit here is that games and applications will continue installing and updating, even when the console is off. It does consume more power than the energy-saving mode, but it will save you time. It's also less energy-intensive than having the console fully switched on while you download a game.Does Xbox One install disc games while off?

Games do download faster in sleep mode than if you are playing the Xbox. This is because the Xbox can use all of its power to download the game rather than sharing its power to run a game and download a new one.
