ORIGINAL STORY 18/7/14 3.30PM Microsoft's upcoming August firmware update for Xbox One will add the ability to wake your console from standby to automatically download new games and apps.
It means you will be able to purchase content via Xbox.com and SmartGlass while away from your console - at work, say - then find it waiting for you when you get home (thanks, WPCentral).
The feature will be especially useful for those downloading large files such as Bungie's 12GB Destiny beta, which launches on Xbox One next week.
The feature is one of several new additions in the August update, which is now being made available early for those in the console's dashboard beta.
Other additions include a new low battery notification, which will appear on screen when your pad's power is close to running out.
Microsoft has also added in a "subtle vibration" when holding the Xbox home button to ensure you know when your input to interact with a notification has been successful.
