Can I plug 2 consoles into 1 power strip?

I'm good, thanks.

That's good to know!

Hello BlackWolf777 how are you?
My name is Ezequiel I'm an Independent Consultant and I'm happy to help you today. Yes it is possible, surge protectors usually have a very high amperage and the two consoles connected at the same time will not exceed the amperage limit.

There are actually two very good reasons for asking users to plug their console's directly into the mains.

1. It can rule in or out a faulty or overloaded power strip. I had a faulty power strip, it was causing my console to freeze and lock up.

2. Many power strips have built in surge protectors. This may work fine for all your other electrical equipment, but surge protectors don't work well with the Xbox One, reason being that the console already has its own surge protection built into the power
supply.

No one is saying that you can't use a power strip, the console should work fine with a good working one. It's just that plugging into the mains can help identify if the issue is power related.

My faulty power strip created some really odd issues with my first console. from FPS issues to textures not loading in (no road in Forza for instance!). Looping sound effects, games dropping to the dashboard or just totally locking the console up.

Make sure that you plug it directly into the wall. Not through a power strip. unplug the console for about 2 minutes so the console can reset itself. Then plug it directly into the wall socket.

Hello Casual,

Yes, if the power strip or extension cord is faulty the console will not get enough power and it can affect all aspects of the console even causing it to not turn on at all. I tested this at home myself, with a console plugged into a power strip console
didn't turn on, plugged into the wall and console turned on.

Thanks,

Brad
