Xbox might get a Night Mode soon

The Night Mode is currently being tested by Xbox Insiders 

The Night Mode on Xbox gaming consoles will offer gamers plenty of customization options, including different levels for lowering the brightness on the screen they are playing with and a blue light filter. Additionally, the night mode will also enable users to lower the brightness of the LED indicator on an Xbox controller and the Xbox power button as well. The feature will enable users to switch to the system's dark mode and disabling high dynamic range gaming mode.

Players will be able to set the Night Mode to a schedule 

An Xbox gaming console owner will be able to set the Night Mode to a schedule. The automatic schedule will enable night mode after sunset and disable it after sunrise. However, users can do it manually as well. Since Microsoft is currently testing the feature with Xbox Insiders, it might be a while before the feature clears rounds of extensive testing on all the Xbox gaming consoles and be available to all consoles. 

The feature will enable players to enjoy the console on their favourite console 

Using the Xbox Night Mode, gamers will be able to enjoy their favourite gaming titles in environments with low ambient lighting situations. It is will be useful for both indoor and outdoor setups of the Xbox gaming consoles, where gamers will be able to turn down the brightness on the screen, on the controller and on the Xbox power button. Additionally, disabling the HDR feature will lower down the stress on the eyes while playing the game after sunset or in poorly lit conditions.
