>Xbox will also auto push out updates to games very soon after their release, even with the console being off
Auto updates with the console "off" has been a thing since the launch of the Xbox One (nov 2013) and the relatable Playstation. Newer Xbox/Playstation continue to have this. I don't think the Switch does, but it doesn't have as much storage capacity/updates.
