This one is for peace of mind, if anything else. Obviously, your Xbox One isn’t going to be able to counsel you on your internet addiction and how it’s costing you money after exceeding your data cap. What it can do, though, is show you where everything’s going wrong. Which, in fairness, shouldn’t be too hard to detect if you’re downloading 50GB games throughout the month and constantly streaming Twitch.

Within the One’s settings, through to network and bandwidth usage, you’ll see exactly that. How much data you’ve been using and where said usage falls, the different apps, games and other utilities that might be eating away your internet. Handy for keeping up on your tabs.

Plus, in comparison to the PlayStation 4, which doesn’t even tell you how many hours you have in a given game, it’s one extra faucet of information about your console usage.
